A type of capitalism usually advocated for by Libertarians that involves the legalization and marketization of traditionally illegal or illicit goods or services such as prostitution and cocaine.
*refills the freedom crack-pipe* Man, I can’t believe cocaine capitalism is a real thing that people believe in.

The physical, emotional, and spiritual suffering which results from an individual being overworked & underpaid in an unsatisfying but necessary job.
“Goddamn, I’ve been busting ass all week at a job that doesn’t recognize me as a person & the built landscape around me gives me malaise & feelings of anomie. I must be coming down with a Capitalism Cold!”

A social and economic system of removing social and economic value using markers associated with race (e.g. such as dark skin or people of African descent) while attributing social and economic value using markers associated with race (e.g., white/light skin or people of European descent).
Example - Wealth is assigned to predominately white U.S. neighborhoods at higher rates than predominately Black, Hispanic, or Latinx neighborhoods. As more middle and upper class White families move into neighborhoods (gentrification) the property values increase but the reverse happens when Black families move into formally homogenized White neighborhoods.
See Cedric Robinson and Charles Mill's work around racial capitalism.

Racial capitalism has assigned value to Whiteness in that those of European descent are often given lower interest rates on loans than those who are not.

Is an ideological term for the upward transfer of wealth from the producer class who generates the product or GDP (gross domestic product) for the owner class, presumed to be those worthy of controlling the establishment. Was defined concisely in Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations as "everything for us and nothing for anyone else"
Many espouse capitalism as ideology of highest importance while not being able to define it precisely or explain it to a five year old decently.
