Pure capitalism does not exist, but if it did supply and demand would mainly control it. In most forms of capitalism in the world governments control it in some ways. Companies decide that products to produce and consumers decide which of those products to buy.
That would be state capitalism.

It depends on whether the means of production are owned by the state (state capitalism) or by private capitalists (private capitalism). Free enterprise is a largely mythical variety of private capitalism.
The form of government in which a single party controls the economy and production is communism.
Under state capitalism, the government controls the means of production. But this is for the benefit of the ruling class, not for ‘the public good’.
Capitalism is based on a number of key principles, the most important of which is private property. A capitalist is precisely someone who owns means of production and controls a significant bit of capital, this is founded on private property. If private property is abolished, capitalism cannot exist.

Communism and capitalism are economic systems with different approaches. In communism, the government owns and controls the means of production, aiming for equality among citizens. In contrast, capitalism allows for private ownership and competition, leading to wealth disparities. Societally, communism promotes collective ownership and a classless society, while capitalism emphasizes individualism and a hierarchical structure based on wealth.
