CAPITALISM
Economic system in which most of the means of production are privately owned, and production is guided and income distributed largely through the operation of markets. Capitalism as we all know is an economic system of producing wealth in which the wealth is privately owned. In capitalism, the land, labor, and capital are owned and operated by private individuals who are trading for one purpose that is, the generation of more income or profits in a legitimate way without force or fraud, by singly or jointly, and investments, distribution, income, production, pricing and supply of goods, commodities and services are determined by voluntary private decision in a market economy.
HISTORY OF CAPITALISM
Concept of Capitalism originated in 13th-16th century.
Adam Smith, an economic and political philosopher from Scotland, was the first to systematically describe the workings of the market system (capitalism). He did not invent it; instead, his genius came in being able to recognize and explain the market forces (supply and demand, competition, profit motive) guiding and regulating the economy. For doing this he is called the "Father of Capitalism". The book he wrote about capitalism, entitled "An Inquiry into the Wealth of Nations", was published in 1776.
Capitalism has been dominant in the Western world since the end of mercantilism
TYPES OF CAPITALISM
Mercantilism Free-market capitalism Social market economy State capitalism Corporate capitalism Mixed economy
CONS:
There really arent any cons for capitalism. The only cons come from people that want to be able to tell people what to do or how to live their life. In capitalism, people are allowed to make their own choices, good or bad, and this seems to bother some that think they have the right to tell others how to live their life. As a capitalist they feel unfortunate that people do sleep on the streets, but they can't feel bad for people that make the conscious choice to stick a needle full of heroine into their veins. Everyone is given the same level playing field and everyone can play.
