Capitalism is an economic system based on private ownership of the means of production and their operation for profit. Characteristics central to capitalism include private property, capital accumulation, wage labor, voluntary exchange, a price system, and competitive markets.
The word capitalism sounds like the label of a philosophy, rather than a system of producing, distributing, and consuming goods and services. But capitalism is, in fact, just a type of economy.
