Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Capitalism is quite a broad term, many different economies can be considered capitalist but work extremely differently. The similarities between all capitalist economies are the private ownership of property, and the production of goods or services based on a desire for profit. The relationship between the individual and the government in a capitalist society is quite small. Individuals want the government to largely stay out of their lives outside of providing protection from other nations.
