That works just fine. The engine, the car, the driver, and the roads. All are required, not to mention the people who did all the work.I'm interested in hearing the differences. My understanding is that capitalism is defined by investments, ownership, production, etc. being determined by private individuals rather than by the State. With the free market being the primary method of that such private individuals make such decisions.
The free market would then be a mechanism of capitalism. Though not capitalism itself. The way an engine of a car makes the car go. But is not itself a car.
I'm a big fan of capitalism. I'm just not an ideologue about it, recognizing that there is a place and need for capitalism to be reigned in. I look at it like....fire. Wonderfully useful, amazingly versatile, will burn the holy living fuck out of you if you leave it unchecked.
Yes as in you believe communist China is Capitalism..
