The word 'capitalism' was coined about 1880 by Karl Marx to describe the way businesses were financed in the west, in contrast to his preferred system of socialism.

The economic value of his arguments is exposed by the fact that socialism was always financed by gifts from western banks, and when the gifts dwindled the regime collapsed.
