The psychotic who rejects my sources on the basis of nothing is attempting to define what "Capitalism" is.

Certainly there are degrees of it, including the generally liberal-recommended Crony Capitalism with its infamous public-private partnerships that benefit Special Interests and often dangerously combine the power of Big Government and Big Business.

But what is theoretical "Capitalism?" Ideally:

Full Definition of CAPITALISM
: 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
