An economic and political system in which a nation's companies are controlled by the super rich rather than the people. Capitalism can be beneficial for producers to innovate in creating new products. Also, consumers can pursue higher-paying jobs to earn more cash to buy more expensive products that they desire the most. Nonetheless, some capitalist countries, such as the USA, Russia, China, Venezuela, and Japan, are being detrimental in the way that they are inflating prices or taxes of products that leads to the downsides of capitalism. Examples are the lack of a Universal Healthcare, below-average minimum wage, micro-transactions in video games, the Student Debt Crisis, increased world hunger, and imperialism in foreign countries to steal resources and to boost economic jobs. Furthermore, if you are born poor at the bottom of the hierarchy, then you are most likely to stay there, unless you get lucky by winning a slot machine at a casino or winning a lottery to get out of the poverty line. To an extreme, capitalism is enslaving workers to their graves in factories without them having enough spare time to be with their family members, but it will ultimately crumble.
