Capitalism
A system of poltical, social, and economic organization, in which, physical force is barred from human relationships. To the extent that it has been tried, its results have been amazing. I am typing this on a computer made by the capitalist system, for instance.

While there has been no example of pure capitalism, America at certain times in history was close, and Hong Kong has been close to pure capitalism. Notice the level of economic develop of these places under capitalism.

Capitalism
Capitalism is a social system based on the recognition of individual rights, including property rights, in which all property is privately owned. Under capitalism the state is separated from economics (production and trade), just like the state is separated from religion. Capitalism is the system of of laissez faire. It is the system of political freedom.

I value individual rights, therefore I promote capitalism.

Capitalism
An often maligned system that was endorsed by Philosophes of the Enlightenment and again by the Social Gospel of the Industrialist Period during the late 19th century. A system that rewards those who work hard and use their talents to the fullest extent, now has been confused and distorted into a systematic operation of oppression and greed, called "corporatism". Can actually be mixed with socialism to create a utopian society if managed properly, a system we almost achieved under Clinton but was trashed by Dubya.

Capitalism is actually a system built for a democratic society by the definition of Enlightened Philosophers, but Corporatism has distorted the meaning of capitalism horribly.

Dubya, Dubya. Moody Teenagers who drink starbucks all day say you're stupid because a Green Day song told them to. How ironic. GO TO HELL ALANIS MORRISETE

Capitalism
Capitalism is a system of economics where you invest 'capital' into ventures and get money (more than your investment) if it succeeds. It is a system that rewards people with ideas. People who spew the whole: rich get richer, poor get poorer are slightly off. If you have an idea, you can get rich. In other systems, like communism or socialism, you have no way to improve your lot in life, but with capitalism, you at least have a chance

capitalism doesn't exist only to feed fat greedy wealthy white men.

N. Korea=less wealthy than America

Capitalism
An economic system best suited to match mans personality and behavior. Capitalism is characterized by private ownership, and little or no government interfeirence in the marketplace. This is a great system if the government doesn't get involved. Capitalism is responsible for the high status of life ALL Americans enjoy on a daily basis.

A person wants money , so he makes a product and sells it. The person who buys that product gets that money from wages earned making other products, and so goes the cycle.
