Very well, here is the "Text book definition".

An economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market

For myself, I have already stated that Capitalism is the basic drive to achieve what ever ones dreams are. I make substantionally less then my brothers do. Guess what, they work n Unions and are considered low tier.

They play Golf(REally.) and go to bars two nights a week. I WORK and put my money in Investments. You see, they make more then I do but they are foolish and do not plan. I BUY things. I SAVE. I act rationally.

To me, Captitalism is the ability to buy and sell anything I want. Also, for other people to do the same. I sacrifice much to grow my stake. To put it simply, Capital is there for anyone who MAKES it!.

Need more? Read my previous posts.... why are you asking me this?

Or for that matter takes it... over 50% of the USA population invests in the market. Surprise, surprise.
