What is Capitalism?

• It is considered as the exploitation of the individual.
• It creates a definite distinction between the rich and the poor in the community.
• It is a concept that is all about private property.
• Private individuals have the control over the means of production and the resources of the country.
• Thus, these individuals get to own all the profit that would be coming from the country’s resources.
• They are also the people who are responsible for dictating the price of the goods in the market.
• In a capitalist country, a person is fully accountable for his or her tasks. If one desires to climb up the corporate ladder, then he or she needs to persevere more in one’s profession.
• A capitalist nation has an economic system that is self regulated.
• The society or the state only comes next to individual freedom in a capitalist country.

What is Communism?

• It is a concept which doesn’t promote private ownership.
