It has a definition

Care to share it with the rest of the class?

Also, do you have any examples of this 'real capitalism'? Or at least a plan to keep capitalism 'real'?

Ownership of the means of production.

Ownership of the means of production.

Right

The history of the model T from ford.

Yes, capitalism greatly expanded the scale and speed at which things could be produced. But how do you keep capitalism 'real' and prevent the issues you described in your first comment?

I don't want to keep capitalism real I was simply using a expletive to emphasize the difference between what we think capitalism is or what was at some point to what it is now which is more like a corporate oligarchy.

I offer no real solutions because they're impossible at the moment; to rid ourselves of capitalism we first have to get rid of scarcity to get rid of scarcity we need to resolve our energy issues and to do that we need to figure out a way for all the governments to cooperate with each other and to do that... so on and so on.

My analysis of our current capitalistic system was in detriment to it. A corporate oligarchy is inherently an evil system.

I do not support nor want capitalism to be our financial system as we are clearly moving backwards.
