INTRODUCTION TO BUSINESS ETHICS AND THE NATURE OF CAPITALISM

CAPITALISM

• A capitalist system is one in which the greater part of the means of production are in private hands (Manufacturing, Transport, Banking, Insurance, Mining, Telecommunications, Media)

• The state is left to control: Health, Education, Welfare, Defence

• In a socialist system there is public ownership and control of the means of production and distribution

• Centralised planning rather than individual decision characterises the socialist system
