'''Capitalism''', sucks big time.  It allows for a few to become extrememly rich while others become extremely poor.  Capitalism creates a class system which divides a nation.  It breeds people who are obsessed with work and money.  Capitalists who say that communism is evil are hypocrites.  The rest of this article is a buch of bullshit.

'''Capitalism''', also called '''free market economy''' is an economic system where the investment of capital, and production, distribution, income, and prices are determined not by government (as in a [[planned economy]]) but through the operation of a competitive market where decisions regarding transfer of money, goods (including capital goods), and services are voluntary and private rather than regulated and mandated by government (see [[law of supply and demand]]).

One self-regulating feature of capitalism is competition, which helps maintain fair market value for goods and services.  However, ''unrestrained'' or ''pure'' capitalism may sometimes create a positive feedback loop in which a small number of individual accumulations of capital grow ever larger, eventually becoming so few as to limit effective competition, thus ceasing to strictly be free-market capitalism.  In this regard, pure capitalism is unstable.  Modern political systems have developed regulation mechanisms in an attempt to render capitalism more stable, including anti-trust regulation, trade tariffs, etc.
