Capitalism has essentially been around for hundreds of years. They claim that capitalism was first started out mercantilism and gradually changed throughout the years into the social and economic system that is currently used in the united states. The Romans were the first ones to use mercantilism in Europe but Arabic cultures had been using that system for much longer

:Owning products as property is called capital, People who work get wages not products, Capitalism is enlightened and individualistic.

    In the website shown above there is a article explaining and defining the concept of capitalism. They say in the article that the biggest mis consumption by people today when referring to capitalism is that it is a new way of life in our and has not been around for a long time. When defining capitalism they said it is the production of technology and buildings all around the world. The type of people who are involved in the production of these goods are known as capitalist. In light of above, captilism is on the rise and is the way of life for most of the higher businesses in our world today.
