 | | In practice, this surplus is used by the owners of capital for: (a) investment (b) to pay themselves dividends on their stock, if any; (c) to pay for rent and interest payments; and (d) to pay their executives and managers (who are sometimes identical with the owners themselves) much higher salaries than workers; (e) taxes. | | | Capitalism, being an antimarket force, sets agendas dictated by large enterprises and the wealthy; since it is a hierarchy-creating and maintaining system, anarchists find it objectionable. | | | It is this appropriation of wealth from the worker by the owner which differentiates capitalism from the simple commodity production of artisan and peasant economies. |

| | MSN Encarta - Capitalism |
| | Unlike the capitalism of Adam Smith, the fundamental focus of mercantilism was on the self-interest of the sovereign (that is, the state), and not the self-interest of the individual owners of economic resources. | | | Capitalism, economic system in which private individuals and business firms carry on the production and exchange of goods and services through a complex network of prices and markets. | | | A key element in capitalism is the undertaking of activity in the expectation that it will yield gain in the future. |

| | IRSP: Capitalism |
| | But the greater the accumulation of capital, the more profit is required to finance investment in capital expansion. | | | Such enlarged concentration of capital requires the creation of larger and larger firms, from the point of view of capital value. | | | To survive, Capitalism must accumulate more and more profit to invest in ever larger scale production, the reason being to bring in more profit. |

| | Capitalism, by Robert Hessen: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty |
| | Beginning with the Sherman Act (1890), Congress enacted antitrust laws that were often used to suppress cost cutting and price slashing, based on acceptance of the idea that an economy of numerous small-scale firms was superior to one dominated by a few large, highly efficient companies operating in national markets (see Antitrust). | | | And having seen that capitalism reduced poverty, instead of intensifying it, critics such as Gar Alperovitz and Michael Harrington proclaimed equality as the highest moral value, calling for higher taxes on incomes and inheritances to massively redistribute wealth, not only nationally but also internationally. | | | Under real competition, which is what capitalism delivered, companies are rivals for sales and profits. |

| | Capitalism |
| | Capitalism is based on the same principle as mercantilism: the large-scale realization of a profit by acquiring goods for lower prices than one sells them. | | | Labor also becomes "efficient," that is, it becomes defined by its "productivity"; capitalism increases individual productivity through "the division of labor," which divides productive labor into its smallest components. | | | The result of the division of labor is to lower the value (in terms of skill and wages) of the individual worker; this would create immense social problems in Europe and America in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. |

| | Chomsky On Capitalism |
| | Of the three major sectors of state capitalism -- the German-led European community, the Japan-based sector and the U.S.-based sector -- the German- and Japan-based sectors pulled out of the decline, but without regaining their previous rate of growth. | | | They've internationalized capital to take advantage of cheap labor abroad, and intensified the class war that business has always waged against labor and the disadvantaged. | | | As an example, the Reagan-Bush administrations are the most protectionist since World War II, doubling the percentage of imports subject to various forms of restriction. |

| | Capitalism FAQ: Theory |
| | In allowing each individual to act unhampered by government regulations, capitalism causes wealth to be created in the most efficient manner possible which ultimately raises the standard of living, increases the economic opportunities, and makes available an ever growing supply of products for everyone. | | | Since all people must live independently under capitalism, all of the material values that a person acquires must be earned. | | | By continuously improving the efficiency of labor, capitalists and businessmen are responsible for raising wages and creating employment which serve to raise the standard of living of everyone. |

| | Copyleft vs. Copyright: A Marxist critique |
| | If communities become direct producers of value for capital, an antagonist relationship similar to the one between capital and labour should be expected to emerge [55]. | | | The prime example of this transition is that from feudalism to early capitalism. | | | Now when historical materialism has proved to be functional in describing the evolving forces of production and the fettering of those forces, we are required to examine the accuracy of its prediction that the relations of production are affected too [65]. |

| | Only under socialism does one find such “robber barons.” Under capitalism the money and banking system is owned and operated by private banks, not by financial ministries that are mere appendages of the state. | | | Achieving capitalism requires fundamental philosophic change: a respect for reason and rational self-interest, the protection of individual rights, and the complete separation of government from business. | | | The reason why capitalism allows people to rise by their own efforts is that capitalism is driven by only one fundamental consideration: profit. |

| | But as national barriers have come down in the name of freer commerce, so has the capacity of governments to manage capitalism in a broad public interest. | | | Most economic fallacies derive from the neglect of this simple insight, from the tendency to assume that there is a fixed pie, that one party can gain only at the expense of another."-Milton Friedman | | | "Poverty and suffering are not due to unequal distribution of goods and resources, but to the unequal distribution of capitalism. |

| | If capital is a term for anything people own that makes them a profit, then a capitalist system allows people to own anything they want. | | | Mainstream economic thought (as well as the daily business page) conceives of capital, generally, as assets — that is, of things subject to ownership, and capable of increase. | | | For example, two things that are constantly identified with capitalism are the free market and competition. |

| | Notablog: "Capitalism": The Known Reality |
| | (Indeed, neocons don't understand it either!) U.S. capitalism as such is equated with "crony capitalism" or with what Rand called the "New Fascism": the intimate involvement of the U.S. government in the protection of business interests at home and abroad through politico-economic and military intervention. | | | Indeed, one of the most insidious forms of state intervention has been in the area of money, banking, and finance. | | | While [the Austrians] argue for the abolition of central banking, and the separation of the political sphere from money and credit, Marx advocates using the credit system as a mechanism for socialist transformation. |
