		One of the key markers of entrepreneurial economies and 'growth' in a society is its economic mobility, defined as the existence of large changes in the make-up of its socio-economic strata.
		In this way the economy's control mechanisms and how information flows through it evolve over time, and are characterised by a kind of 'survival of the fittest' selection and evolution process which is not dissimilar to that exhibited in natural systems and their component relationships.
		In mainstream economics, a capitalist economy is one where the overwhelming majority of decisions regarding pricing, production, and distribution of goods and services are made through market interactions by the private sector in a free market with private ownership of the means of production procured by the investment of capital.

	Capitalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Capitalist economic practices became institutionalized in Europe between the 16th and 19th centuries, although some features of capitalist organization existed in the ancient world.
		The values of classical political economy are strongly associated with the classical liberal doctrine of minimal government intervention in the economy.
		Capitalist class processes, to these thinkers, are simply those in which surplus labour takes the form of surplus value, usable as capital; other tendencies for utilization of labor nonetheless exist simultaneously in existing societies where capitalist processes are predominant.

		Traditionally capitalist economies have had corporations working the lines of the above example existing parallel with other types of organisation such governments sole traders partnerships and sometimes cooperatives credit unions and other entities.
		This would not such a big problem in an economy which individuals had access to the resources provide for themselves but when ownership of bulk of productive resources is collected in few hands most individuals are made dependent employment for their well being.
		Of course the precise ideology meant "capitalism" in the latter sense differs: what Marxist or Green may describe as capitalist ideology may thoroughly alien to what a classical liberal means by calling her- or himself capitalist and vice versa.

	Capitalist (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		An economy with a large amount of intervention (which may include state ownership of the means of production) in combination with capitalist characteristics is often, but not always referred to as a mixed economy, rather than a capitalist one [1].
		It is typical for true capitalist economies to have rates of unemployment that fluctuate between 3% and 15%.
		Capitalist systems have often functioned under unelected governments: the classic case is the United Kingdom, where less than 20% of adult males could vote prior to 1885, and women did not receive the vote until 1918.

	People's Weekly World - Why the shift to a socialist market economy?
		Among factors contributing to this crisis were the U.S. escalation of the arms race to strain the economies of the socialist countries, a U.S.-led embargo of technology transfer, and violations of democratic centralism in the ruling Communist parties.
		Although the capitalist’s source of profit is only the live labor employed, the price is not just determined by the sum of labor time of the live and dead labor embodied in the product.
		The introduction of the socialist planned economy to utilize a nation’s resources in what appeared to be the most rational way was, in reality, premature and, despite its many powerfully positive accomplishments, must be viewed as a variant of utopian socialism.

		All real, traditional capitalist economies have had corporations working along the lines of the above example existing in parallel with other types of organisation such as governments, sole traders, partnerships and sometimes cooperatives, credit unions, and other entities.
		Therefore, the control mechanisms of the economy, and the way that information flows through it, evolve over time, and are subject to a kind of "survival of the fittest" form of selection not unlike biological entities.
		This would not be such a big problem in an economy in which individuals had access to the resources to provide for themselves, but when ownership of the bulk of productive resources is collected in relatively few hands, many individuals are made dependent on employment for their well being.

	THE CAPITALIST MANIFESTO, copyright 1958 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		As described in section VI.C, distribution within a capitalist economy may be either laboristic (those who contribute only their labor receive the majority of the output) or capitalist (the major portion of the wealth produced goes to the owners of capital).
		On the contrary, the mixture of a laboristic with a capitalistic form of distribution in a capitalist economy, especially in a technologically advanced one in which nine-tenths of the wealth is produced by capital instruments, does serious injustice to the owners of capital.
		He feels that the modern economy suffers from a basic ethical error: "mistaking the means for an end." The glorification of toil and the acquisition of wealth without purpose represent the two ethical failings of the mixed capitalist economy, failings which will have to be overcome through education if revolutionary capitalism is to succeed.

	capitalist economies
		The vast changes sweeping through the world economy have focused attention upon the nature of the market capitalist economic system, the system that is the goal of many reformers in power in the former communist countries.
		Capitalist theory points to its inherent tendencies toward equilibrium and historical experience shows that capitalism has survived several centuries and that there are no signs of impending collapse.
		For example, the monetarist view of the market economy has mounted a major counterattack against the Keynesian revolution, arguing that, on balance, government intervention in the economy is not necessarily stabilizing and thus should be minimized.

		If "globalization" means the decline of national capitalist classes and the nation-state, the transfer of sovereignty from the state to the organs of some kind of unified transnational capital, it certainly hasn't happened yet and seems unlikely ever to happen.
		The relations among advanced capitalist economies and among their national states are obviously very different from the relations between them and weaker national entities.
		To say, as Marx did, that capitalists have no nation is certainly to say that they have no national loyalties and will move wherever the imperatives of profit-maximization take them, but it certainly doesn't mean that they have no roots in, or no need for, the state or for their own nation-state in particular.

		It is widely admitted even in capitalist economic journals, for example, that China’s rapid growth, and its large and fast-growing purchases from South-Korea, Malaysia and other capitalist Asian states, that have been the primary factor in those states’ rebound from the severe crisis of 1997-98.
		World capitalism is a stratified system, dominated and plundered by the imperialist economies; the great majority of capitalist countries, and of the worldwide population still living under capitalist rule, are at the bottom.
		What the capitalists have some control over is who suffers in a crisis above all, they move to weaken and cheapen labour, directing their fire above all at workers’ organizations, ranging from unions and Communist Parties to the states created by socialist revolutions.

		Indeed, the point of capitalist globalization is precisely to reduce the influence of whole populations and even of state leaderships save for the most powerful elements of Western corporate and political rule.
		Capitalist globalization is, after all, markets, corporations, and class structure writ large.
		Capitalist economics revolves around private ownership of the means of production, market allocation, and corporate divisions of labor.

		Its argument is that the existence of a periphery of less developed countries provides a buffer that allows relatively crisis-free and non-inflationary growth in the capitalist core.
		The analysis unifies two fields that are normally separate: models of growth and stabilization policy in advanced economies and the economics of open, developing economies.
		Consequently, Patnaik embraces both a thorough analysis of modern fiscal, monetary, and inflation policy In advanced capitalist economies and the constraints that systematically hinder fj development in less developed countries.

	networkideas.org - What should be the scope of "Development Economics"?
		Now, in third world economies saddled with massive labour reserves this is patently untrue; even when real wages secularly decline, without there necessarily being any divergence between the expected and the actual real wage, the labour supply never starts drying up.
		We cannot of course study the Indian economy without studying the prevailing agrarian relations, and in that sense a study of agrarian relations remains an integral part of "development economics".
		But the precise agrarian relations prevailing have been shaped by the economy's integration into the capitalist system, though these relations differ from country to country, are not reducible merely to some predetermined outcome of this integration, and must in turn throw up contradictions for this process of integration.

		The international market today, like any capitalist market, works to favour the stronger, this is part of the dynamics of the capitalist system.
		To maintain this foreign exploitation, their economies and societies were distorted, fractured and handicapped to meet the economic needs of the central powers: cheap supply of cash crops, raw materials and even labour power.
		Western European theorists concluded that less developed economies suffered form scarcity of capital, therefore the way to industrialize had to be through imports of international capital (North American, Western European and Japanese, today).

		The current instability and volatility in the global economy over the last year is seriously affecting the economies of both developed and developing countries.
		There have been several preceding globalised capitalist crises this century, in each case the capitalist system has (at huge cost in terms of the mass destruction of capital resources and resulting mass human misery) been able to surpass its crises, at least for a time.
		However, we need also to understand that some of the major economies are less affected by the present crisis, and see in it an opportunity to deepen their own dominance at the expense of rivals (e.g.

	A Capitalist War? by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.
		Millions of college students are taught the Leninist idea that capitalist economies are inherently imperialistic.
		This is supposedly because exploitation exhausts capital values in the domestic economy, and hence capital owners must relentlessly seek to replenish their funds through grabbing foreign resources.
		Recall that it was then-secretary of state James Baker who said the first Iraq war was all about "jobs, jobs, jobs." The line between the owners of capital and the warfare state has never been that clean in American history, and it has arguably never been as conspicuously blurred as it is today.

		One is the workings of capitalist organizations - the functions perfomed by the existing capitalist institutions and the effectiveness with which they support economic dynamism in the relatively capitalist economies.
		The other subject is the kinds of countries in which capitalist systems can be expected to be viable and suitable; the requirements that have to be met in a country for one or more capitalist-type systems to work better than any corporatist, socialist, or other sort of economic system.
		What are the suitable roles for the state in capitalist-like economies and how do these roles differ from one national setting to another?
