Capitalism is an economic system characterized by private ownership of the means of production and the creation of goods or services for profit. In a capitalist economy, individual and corporate ownership plays a critical role, and decisions about investment, production, and distribution are primarily driven by market forces rather than government intervention. This system emphasizes competition and consumer choice, which can lead to innovation and economic growth, but also creates disparities in wealth and power.
