well, it may be.. a quite common, spread idea nowadays, despite you are right there is not in actual countries which i could think about.

I would say it is..either a sort of China with private property in place of State property as it is, or the nineteenth century developed countries, as British Empire.

still this is true beeing a largely common idea still not so coherent in actual countries of these days.

Some countries which may be close at this word, they can t be said like this (the case perhaps of South and Center Americas of some decades ago).

mainly because they often have got a large and deep State and military which keep them in a different basket, I reason.

past U.r.s.s vassals, nevertheless, as Kazakistan may be.

yes, I find Kazakistan may be the golden standard nowadays country -still I can t say becuse I never went there- for this definition, perhaps post Janukovic's regime fall Ukraine somewhat.

Also, the '90 past U.r.s.s countries after the wall chute, they may have been this, even if after a pair of decades they can t be said as this anymore.

Capitalism is free enterprise. It permits the means of production in the hands of businessman or the sale of goods and services from non government entities. In capitalism people can buy and sell according to the supply and demand of the good. If the demand of a product is high, price rises. If the supply is high, the price lowers.

Capitalism tends to have good things and bad. It actually is really remarkable at efficient and communicating at a quick and large scale unlike a command and control economy. But it also can pay workers bad wages and leads other people to gain more wealth easier like the stock market.

There r some critics of capitalism based on the unfair distribution of wealth and inequality and regulation and redistribution based on liberal policies is one way to reduce inequity however it also reduces efficiency of the market.

Capitalizm (As opposed to Capitalism) is the political and economic system within the United States in Max Barry's (Peace be upon him) novel, Jennifer Government. The closest real life political philosophy is Anarcho-Capitalism, and the novel deconstructs how awful such a system would be to live in.

My NS stats are not indicative of my OOC views. NS stats are meant to be rather silly. My OOC political and ideological inspirations are as such:
The Republic, by Plato | Leviathan, by Thomas Hobbes | The Confucian civil service system of imperial China | The "Golden Liberty" elective
monarchy system of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth | The corporatist/technocratic philosophy of Henri de Saint-Simon | The communitarian
ideological framework of the Singaporean People's Action Party | "New Deal"-style societal regimentation | Kantian/Mohist/Stoic philosophy

So why didn't they call it anarcho-capitalism? What's the difference between that and Capitalizm?

I cannot speak for Mr. Barry, for he is a being of immeasurably superior wisdom; after all, he created this glorious website.
