Capitalism

Not to be attacked by JavaScript community conferences *finger wag*

cap·i·tal·ism

/ˈkapədlˌizəm/

noun

an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state.

"an era of free-market capitalism"

Motivation

This CommonJS module is an attempt to illustrate why capitalism is good for you, actually. So here, please enjoy these open-source community-contributed facts about ~commu~capitalism and related political systems.

Just please keep in mind that this code repository has been licensed under the ISC license (shown below), so you have to be OK with that as well in a completely unironic way—but not in any way that could cause you to question your morals or ethics or anything like that, haha... 😅
