Capitalism

Capitalism (from "capital" and Latin "capitālis") is a broad range of economic, political, and philosophical thoughts and ideologies which all generally seek a free market and the idea of ownership of private businesses and property. Capitalism is a dominant force in modern politics, with the economic policy of almost all modern nations either being capitalist or having capitalistic tendencies. 
Capitalism is a wide descriptor for any ideology which values the ownership of private property and land and generally advocates for a free and competitive market. As such, capitalism and the interpretation of capitalism varies throughout different ideologies. There are several different types of capitalism. One of the more orthodox interpretations of capitalism is laissez-faire capitalism, which advocates for little to no governmental regulation of the markets whatsoever. Laissez-Faire Capitalism may rely on market-self-regulation and contains a broad mix ideologies such as Anarcho-Capitalism, which advocates for no influence of the government whatsoever in both markets and other issues, and Libertarianism, which generally supports minimized or small economic interference by the state. The most commonly seen system of capitalism in modern politics is regulated capitalism, which aims for the protection of workers through minimum wage laws, support of trade unions, and other regulations. Regulated capitalism can be seen in most capitalist ideologies, ranging broadly from the economic liberalism which is most common in Western governments today to ideologies which advocate for significant amounts of drastic reform to capitalism such as social democracy, which may sometimes aim to “mix” the economic ideals of both capitalism and Marxism. Because of this, there is debate as to if these beliefs can be considered capitalism at all. 
Capitalism is the dominant economic ideology throughout the world today, although opposition to the ideology has been growing within recent years especially among youth with leftist or left-leaning tendencies. Such critics often claim that the ideology of capitalism may inherently lead to oppression or mistreatment of the working class.
