Yay, Capitalism!

Capitalism is defined as an economic system in which the means of production and distribution are privately owned and operated for a private profit. Like anything else, it has its strengths and flaws. 


Pros:

  • Lots of freedom
  • Choose to run your own business or get a job 
  • Consumers get highest variety of products and services
  • Room for innovation without the government interfering
  • The market bends to the will of the customers
  • Right to own property and develop it as you choose
  • Right to earn as much money as you want 
  • Highest standards of living 
Cons:
  • Not everyone can live comfortably
  • Imbalance of equality among classes
  • Some believe it leads to unfair competition
  • Society becomes very materialistic
All in all , Capitalism is awesome.
