It’s a system of economics, where people have the freedom to buy and sell whatever (legal) stuff they want. Unlike communism, in which the government determines how you make money, capitalism lets people figure out how they want to conduct business. Above all, capitalism breeds (and thrives on) competition. That’s why we see so many different companies selling essentially the same thing: they’re fighting for your business—because they can. It’s economic survival of the fittest.
