This essay sheds light on what is capitalism, explicates how implementing capitalist policies in the economy can increase economic growth in the economy, and expounds upon how the economy can become a capitalistic economy. Succinctly stated, capitalism is a term that delineates a free market economy. A free market economy is the antithesis of a controlled market economy. "Capitalism is an economic system characterized by private ownership of the means of production, with labor solely paid wages. The production of products and services under capitalism is based on supply and demand in the general market, also known as the market economy". In a capitalistic economy, the type of demand for products and services is voluntary demand. This is because, in a capitalistic economy, people have purview over how all of their money is expended. Furthermore, in a capitalistic economy, there are are no evisceration fees that are imposed by bureaucratic apparatuses. In this controlled market economy, there are an exorbitant amount of evisceration fees that are imposed by bureaucratic apparatuses which people who work real private sector employee jobs based on voluntary demand pay and do not receive anything for paying. It is less cumbersome for a person to elevate his standard of living if he has purview over how all of his hard earned money is expended. In a capitalistic economy, people also have purview over how all of their sacrosanct time is earmarked. Moreover, in a capitalistic economy, there is no mandate for people to be sentenced to a 13-year, K-12 compulsory concentration camp. In this controlled market economy, people are sentenced to a 13-year, insalubrious, K-12 compulsory indoctrination camp against their own volition which some people refer to as a 13-year, insalubrious, K-12 compulsory prison, while other people refer to it as a 13-year, insalubrious, K-12 concentration camp due to it being an insalubrious environment that individuals are relegated to from a young age to against their own accord. In a capitalistic economy, people are not sentenced to a 13-year, insalubrious, K-12 compulsory concentration camp. It is ineffably devastating to a person's growth, overall health, well-being, standard of living, quality of life, and financial health to be sentenced to a 13-year, K-12 compulsory concentration camp. It is less cumbersome for a person to grow, improve his well-being, elevate his standard of living, bolster his overall health, and ameliorate his financial health if he has purview over how his time is earmark. A capitalist economy is characterized by economic freedom. Unnecessary business stifling regulations are not apart of a capitalist economy. In a capitalist economy, the absence of unnecessary business stifling regulations renders it less cumbersome for business owners to be able to enter new markets. The markets in a capitalist economy are not monopolistic markets. The markets in a capitalist economy are replete with competition. When markets are replete with competition, then it can render companies at a higher probability to innovative their product lines. When markets are replete with competition, then it can also render companies at a higher probability to enhance their operational efficiencies. When markets are replete with competition, then it can also render the retail prices of products at a lower probability of being excessively overpriced. When markets are replete with competition, then it can also render companies as an aggregate at a higher probability to have a vast variety of product offerings. When markets are replete with competition, then it can also furnish customers with an exorbitant amount of options to choose which companies to purchase products from. A capitalist economy is also characterized by market freedom. In a capitalist economy, people are not mandated to partake in involuntary transactions. Furthermore, in a capitalist economy, people are not mandated to purchase products that they are disinterested in purchasing. Moreover, in a capitalist economy, people are not mandated to procure services that they are disinterested in purchasing. In a capitalist economy people are able to have purview over how all of their money is expended and over how all of their time is allocated. When people have purview over how all of their money is expended and over how all of their time is allocated, then it is less cumbersome for them to become entrepreneurs and work in worthwhile entrepreneurial capacities. It can be time-consuming and expensive for people to become entrepreneurs and work in worthwhile entrepreneurial capacities. In a capitalistic economy, there is also no welfare system. Furthermore, in a capitalistic economy, people do not have the option to resort to becoming welfare aristocrats by refusing to work in any capacity.
