Page "Capitalism" Paragraph 28

Capitalism is the system of raising, conserving and spending a set monetary value in a specified market.

There are three main markets in a basic capitalistic economy: labor, goods and services, and financial.

Labor markets ( people ) make products and get paid for work by the goods and services market ( companies, firms, or corporations, etc.

) which then sells the products back to the laborers.

However, both of the first two markets pay into and receive benefits from the financial market, which handles and regulates the actual money in the economic system.

This includes banks, credit-unions, stock exchanges, etc.

From a monetary standpoint, governments control just how much money is in circulation worldwide, which plays an immense role on how money is spent in one's own country.
