In a few words, capitalism is an economic system in which goods are produced for sale on the market with a view to profit. Modern capitalism is characterised by the wage/capital relationship. Capital rests in the hands of a minority class who get a profit by employing others, who, because they do not own capital, work for them for a wage.
A capitalist is any person who owns sufficient capital not to have to work for a living. Many capitalists do work hands on in their business. The point is that, as owners of capital, the system provides them with an income and they don’t have to.
