An extreme, uncritical devotion to capitalist economic principles—markets, private property, competition, profit motive—as the solution to all social problems, while rejecting any alternative or critique as naive or dangerous. The capitalist fanatic treats market outcomes as inherently just, regulation as inefficient, and collective action as threatening freedom. They dismiss criticisms of exploitation, inequality, or environmental damage as ignorance or envy. Capitalist fanaticism often masquerades as pragmatism, but it is an ideology that refuses to examine its own assumptions, treating capitalism as natural law rather than a historically specific system.
