Key Takeaways

  • Capitalism and socialism are so different that they’re often seen as diametrically opposed.
  • Capitalism is based on individual initiative and favors market mechanisms over government intervention, while socialism is based on government planning and limitations on private control of resources.
  • Left to themselves, economies tend to combine elements of both systems: capitalism has developed its safety nets, while countries like China and Vietnam may be edging toward full-fledged market economies.
