Capitalism Vs Socialism
Capitalism is an economic system where resources (where monetary or
otherwise) are privately owned. Socialism, on the other hand, is a
system where goods are owned by the state or the public. In capitalism,
everyone works for their own wealth, while in socialism, everyone works
for wealth which is distributed equally to everyone. Capitalism (the free market) is a socioeconomic system that
relies upon certain basic institutions, among them private property,
contract, rule of law, and voluntary exchange. It is this system that
enables individuals and communities to pursue their own perceived
self-interest without resorting to coercion. The capitalist system
also allows for the creation of corporations and other entities that
seek to maximize profit as a means of meeting the needs and wants of
individuals and communities. I think neither one will help create a sustainable economy. People want to share and generate personal income: they want to co-operate as
well as compete. That’s the way the economy is going
and it’s what will be the foundation of sustainability.
