What is Capitalism
Capitalism supports a free market. Free market is a type of economy. A free market economy is an economy with very little government control. All the people want the government to do is create a safe environment, protect property, and prevent monopolies. The rest of the economy is controlled by supply and demand, or the invisible hand. The invisible hand is an act where one individual's needs are met by another completing their own needs
Cons of MarketA market economy creates massive gaps between the rich and poor. in a Capitalist system the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, this is also know as disparity. Worker mistreatment is a factor in market economy, they dont care about the people and they just want the job done and with paying the least for the labour of the workers. the workers work long hours and get paid very little. The resources that are used to produce what ever product are wasted, the producers don't care about reusing they just want to get the product made with lowest cost in mind.
