Capitalism is the stystem whereby private owners own the means of production; contrasting with communism where it is owned by the state or 'the people.'

However it is not as clear cut as that, as in several mixed economies different means of production are owned by the private or public sector; do acknowledge that there is no 100% communist or capitalist system that has ever worked or been suggested as a viable possibility.
