An economic type in which all necessities are provided by the government for free while luxuries must be purchased by the individual. Social puritism resembles social capitalism in some ways but the market and companies are much more regulated to ensure they cannot exploit workers or consumers. On the left-right economic spectrum, social puritism falls under center-left to left depending on the implementation whereas social capitalism is center. Origin: Created by Zenno Shugunou due to him not being in favor of any economic types at the time. The "Social" part comes from "Socialism" and "Social Capitalism" while the "Puritism" part refers to the system resembling a version of social capitalism that has been purged of its evils.
