Capitalism examined

Capitalism is a system where capital (productive assets and wealth) concentrates decision-making power, and where profit-seeking drives resource allocation and innovation through competitive markets rather than central planning. Its actual performance depends heavily on property rules, regulatory structure, and distribution mechanisms—making it less a unified doctrine than a contested arrangement with radically different real-world implementations.
