'''Capitalism''' is an [[economic]] system in which wealth, and the means of producing wealth, are privately owned and controlled rather than commonly, publicly, or state-owned and controlled.[http://www.blackcrayon.com/library/dictionary/?term=capitalism] Through capitalism, the land, labor, and capital are owned, operated, and traded by private individuals either singly or jointly, and investments, distribution, income, production, pricing and supply of goods, commodities and services are determined by voluntary [[private]] [[decision]] in a market economy. A distinguishing feature of capitalism is that each person owns his or her own labor and therefore is allowed to sell the use of it to employers. In a "capitalist state", private [[rights]] and [[property]] relations are protected by the rule of [[law]] of a limited regulatory framework. In the modern capitalist state, legislative action is confined to defining and enforcing the basic rules of the market though the state may provide some [[public]] goods and infrastructure.
