capitalism
(redirected from Free-enterprise system)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

capitalism

Economic system in which the principal means of production, distribution, and exchange are in private (individual or corporate) hands and competitively operated for profit. A mixed economy combines the private enterprise of capitalism and a degree of state monopoly, as in nationalized industries and welfare services.

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.
