This week, we will start looking at the pros and cons of capitalism. To start with, we will look at the ideology and what it means. Key things to think of when you hear capitalism:
- Adam Smith
- Free market
- Invisible Hand
- Laissez-Faire
- Profit Motive
To begin with, we will look at how capitalism was first implemented in the Industrial Revolution and then the good and bad effects of it. Then, we will look at the opposite of capitalism, which is communism.
