capitalismEconomic system in which the principal means of production, distribution, and exchange are in private (individual or corporate) hands and competitively operated for profit.

Most capitalist economies are actually mixed economies, but some (such as the US and Japanese) have a greater share of the economy devoted to free enterprise. How to thank TFD for its existence?
