Get the Capitalismmug. Capitalism is the refinement of all the ills of the free market -- such as the "bottom line" being more important than people, the emphasis on using money as the basis for measuring values, and the constant need for more and more that drives the system.
Capitalism is an inhuman force that pushes millions into poverty. It is a force that leads a small group of extremely powerful men to dominate the majority. In the quest for power, the capitalist not only rapes and pillages a few small villages and towns. The capitalist rapes entire markets and nations. This creates resentment for the wealthy. Because of this, the capitalist resents the majority in return, and fears them, too. Capitalists use their resources to isolate and protect themselves from the ever-increasing amount of victims tha they leave behind; they spend more and more on body guards and security to protect themselves from both real and imagined threats.
A capitalist society is a society ruled by money. The poor, which do not have access to the capital, are bantied about by economic forces. They are unwitting stooges, devoid of free will and hope. Capitalism is a society where an extremely small group of people live in unimaginable luxury and elegance while the rest of the world wallows in environmental degradation and increasing squalor. It is a society where the rich and powerful get richer and more powerful. It is a system where the ruling elite use their insider connections to grind the rest of the world under its heels. It is a world of monopoly, insider trading, financial scams and outright theft. Capitalism is an imbalanced mechanism for distributing power where the rich get richer and the poor to get poorer. The Wealthy capitalists use the government to do their bidding, whether they are stealing property from the less powerful by having the government take it over by imminant domain, and handing it over to themselves, or using our military to overthrow a poor nation that uninvites their industries in favor of local businesses.
Capitalism leaves, in it's wake, shattered lives, iniquity, and an uncaring attitude towards people.

Get the Capitalismmug. A form of government based on the idea that people who want to excel will excel, and those who do not wish to will not. It can easily be combined with democracy, though balance is needed for it to succeed, and oftentimes it can be corrupted. Though this has brought prosperity to the world not yet seen, it faces criticism from those who beleive in socialism, another effective form of government.
Capitalism: You have two cows, you sell one and buy a bull.
Socialism: You have two cows, you work and one is taken away to be given to another who has no cows because his have died due to neglect.

Get the Capitalismmug. An economic system in which the industry and trade is controlled by private investors oppose to the goverment or society. Captialism in its purist form is known as free market capitalism. The primary objective essentially is to obtain profit. In a capitalist society, you have the right to commodities. Free market (supply and demand) is in controll of purchasers and marketers. This enables economic growth due to the fact that capitalism creates competition which incentives innovation and production.
It's completely environmentally beneficial because businesses know that if they exploit to much, their equity will deplete. Captialism leads to the dramitic decrease in poverty rates therefore benefiting all classes in humanity. As Miltion Friedman once said: "The great virtue of a free market system is that it does not care what color people are; it does not care what their religion is; it only cares whether they can produce something you want to buy. It is the most effective system we have discovered to enable people who hate one another to deal with one another and help one another". Capitalism shows that economic freedom and political freedom correlate. Lower taxes for more innovation which leads to economic growth since most wealth is produced by businesses and those businesses possess the right to obtain the profit they earn. Without Capitalism, the economy will plummet.

I wonder if John suffers from capitalitis? He can't make ends meet but he seems to have given up wanting to work for someone else at a dead end job.

Get the Capitatemug. An economic system based on two basic truisms:
1. Humans are greedy
2. Humans act in their own self interest FIRST
Capitalism exploits these two truisms by creating an economic structure in which benefiting yourself benefits the society as a whole. For example, when Jeff Bezos created Amazon, he benefited himself by giving himself complete financial freedom; and he benefited the society as a whole by providing fast, reliable shipping and delivery.
