Personally, I think of freedom and the personal responsibility associated with a free market.
In the play "Our Town" by Thornton Wilder, the narrator says something about a system wherin the hard working rise to the top, while the shiftless and lazy sink to the bottom.
It's all about personal responsibility to contribute in order to be rewarded.
Some have said that capitalism is an imperfect system. In fact, it may be thought of as the worst system of government - - - except for all the rest.
Hope there is something worthwhile in there for you.
Good luck!

The stock market (which provides much of the Capital in Capitalism).

I think of the terms unrestrained and regulated.
These make the difference between a monster and a workhorse.
