Capitalism : An economic system in which the means of production and distribution are privately or corporately owned and development occurs through the accumulation and reinvestment of profits gained in a free market.

>>>
Zim : Capitalism, in my opinion, is why we Americans used to not have shortages in our grocery stores. And, China 'unleashed' their capitalists and now everything, it seems, says 'made in china'.
>>>

Centrism : is a political outlook or position that involves acceptance and/or support of a balance of social equality and a degree of social hierarchy, while opposing political changes which would result in a significant shift of society strongly to either the left or the right.

>>>
Zim : 'social equality' smells like something socialists or communists would use to enrich themselves. People being what people are, I just don't see how 'social equality' could possibly 'work'. But I suspect most people (myself included) would prefer something more 'middle of the road' rather than severe changes.

(Or am I confusing 'social equality' with 'economic equity' ? Zim.)
