Download What is Capitalism?

Capitalism is a free market where consumers decide
which produced and which services are provided and
they do this by what the spend their money on.
When there is a need for a product or a service
someone or some company is there to provide that
product or service.
There is plenty of money available in the private sector
for investment in new ideas. One small example of this
is the TV show “Shark Tank”
The TV show “Shark Tank” is an excellent example of capitalism, it
demonstrates:
• Rich people looking for new products or services to invest in them make
the richer.
• The financial risk entrepreneurs take and the hard work entrepreneurs have
to do to try to be successful.
• Everyone in the United States of America has an equal opportunity for
success regardless of race, ethnic heritage, religion or political affiliation.
• Some entrepreneurs are successful, some have to go back and work harder
and some don’t make it.
Individuals and companies are always looking for new products and
services that consumers will buy,
Many people make their “American Dream” providing a new product or
new service or providing a better product of service than other
companies.
