Hello There!

Capitalism is a type of "Social System" and this social system splits people up in two different classes. These classes are called the "Capitalist Class" and the "Working Class." Basically, the capitalist class are the people who have more money and they usually own land, services, technologies, or other things. On the other hand, the working class is the class where the people usually help to produce a product or service that is given.
