"Capitalism is a system of largely private ownership
that is open to new ideas,
new firms and new owners
—in short, to new capital."
" Capitalism’s rationale to proponents and critics alike has long been recognized to be its dynamism, that is, its innovations and, more subtly, its selectiveness in the innovations it tries out."
" At the same time, capitalism is also known for its tendency to generate instability, often associated with the existence of financial crises, job insecurity and failures to include the disadvantaged."
