Capitalism is a social and economic system based on the idea that the means of production must be in private hands to ensure development and wealth in the world. It is governed by the laws of the market, which functions as a mechanism that efficiently distributes scarce means.
According to this ideology, capital is the basis of wealth and individuals are free to decide whether or not to enter into a relationship of labor dependence or assume the management of the means of production. In this sense, economic resources will always be directed by individuals and not by the State.
In the world, most nations are governed by the capitalist system, but not by pure capitalism. For, the State always has control, power and resources that allow it to maneuver in collaboration with the private sector.
The levels of control and appropriation of capital vary from one nation to another, between public and private. But the idea is always to give the right value and prominence to market dynamics.
