About

Capitalism is the idea that "investment" – putting private money ("capital") into an enterprise with the expectation of greater private return – should be the primary driver of an economy.

It does not require the existence of free markets (e.g. laissez-faire capitalism tends to operate in ways that destroy competition), though it is compatible with them.
