Capitalism Plus retail box cover. Capitalism is a simulation game which can be played in two different ways. The player may start their own business or play a scenario with a pre-made business with a set goal. In a new game, the player begins with a maximum of $200,000,000 initial capital. Each store can be stocked with up to four different items. As a real world model it is necessary to take into account land cost, overhead, demand for the products, and competition. The player can build several types of firms including department stores, factories, research and development centers, farms, mines, oil wells and ... logging camps.
(F)Artists depiction of Capitalism. Made by Pink Floyd Capitalism is a system of economics that entails the rights of the elite to control the means of production and enslave the workers, with limited state control and judicially preserved property "rights." This system rewards those who create what the market is demanding, even if the market is demanding more videos of Tara Reid's deformed nipple slip or microwavable cheese products. Just kidding. You have to be a douchebag and a sellout willing to step on the meek to get anywhere. Some consider Tom Cruise, who isn't gay?!?!?!!?!(citation needed), to be a capitalist.
In Capitalism without Democracy, Kellee S. Tsai focuses on the activities and aspirations of the private entrepreneurs who are driving China's economic growth. The famous images from 1989 of China's new capitalists supporting the students in Tiananmen Square are, Tsai finds, outdated and misleading. Chinese entrepreneurs are not agitating for democracy. Most are working eighteen-hour days to stay in business, while others are saving for their one child's education or planning to leave the country. Many are Communist Party members.
Capitalism includes seventeen scenarios with pre-made situations and businesses and a certain goal. The scenarios are generally more difficult to succeed in that competitors often have the starting advantage. Each scenario has a different goal and different environment and competitor situation. For example, the Alternative Challenge scenario restricts the market to two cities while in "D" for Diversification the player must manage a profitable broad-based corporation and manage a large number of firms at the same time.
Capitalism is based upon the principle of property rights. It is property that the welfare-state must expropriate in order to exist. The degree of a society's sophistication is the degree of knowledge which it incorporates into its social institutions. It takes a great deal of knowledge and truth to recognize that man has inalienable rights, that his life is his to live, and that "hands off" is the moral requirement of human beings. The welfare-state is not an advance upon this level of knowledge. Any ignorant brute whose mind knows little more than hand-to-mouth can learn how to club someone over the head and steal the product of his labor. And it is this, with the support of laws and guns and runaway government budgets, that the welfare-state does.

In Capitalism, Debt-Backed currency is centrally planned and managed by a central bank (Federal Reserve/ECB, etc.), and ... allows the slaves to self manage and plan production under the illusion of a free market and the belief they have choice. This allows the slavemasters to not have to continously monitor their slaves, and they can more efficiently optimize the amount of produced wealth they confiscate for themselves via Usury/Interest charges on the currency.
