Capitalism is an Economic
System in which a countrys trade
and industry are controlled by
private owners for profit rather
then controlled by the state.
What is 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 .
What is Capitalism?
It is the system of laissez faire. It is the system of political
freedom. It is the economic system based on the principle of
private ownership and use of factor of production and individual
freedom in all economic matters.
What is Capitalism?
Under this system all farms, factories and other means of
production are the property of private individual and firms. They are
free to use them, any way they like, with a view to making profit. The
desire for profit is the sole consideration with the property owner in
the use of their property.
Beside free and unfettered use of their property, everybody
is free to take up any line of production he likes and is free to enter
in and contract with other fellow citizens for his profit
