Capitalism

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Capitalism is an economic system with private ownership and a profit motive, where prices and wages are set through supply, demand, and competition.

Show

Watch for

A capitalist economy still involves government regulation of wages, safety, and industry; the label does not mean zero state involvement.
