The key features of the capitalist system are the use and social acceptance of loans/ paying interest on loans; the use of profit to reinvest more capital into operations; the multiplication of investment and savings by allowing money multiplication (whereby banks and other lenders can loan money they borrow or do not have enough reserves to cover). Most of the other features of capitalism, such as the institutionalisation of markets, do occur in other economic systems or are parts of separate economic ideology (example: free trade is not part of capitalism specifically).
