    An actual dictionary definition of capitalism:

    an economic and political system in which a country’s trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit.

    Any definition of capitalism that doesn’t in some way mention private ownership of capital is simply wrong.

        Yes. If you leave out that part you’re just describing human behavior in general.
