    About this ebook

    Examines capitalism as a definable concept, in the absence of the various social definitions that encumbers it, detailing it's main successes and failings. Makes a comparison between capitalism and other economic models, demonstrating the main points of difference. Proposes that while capitalism is a powerful and positive mechanism, it should not be applied without due consideration of factors as a general curative for every kind of economic problem.

    Isuru Abeysinghe

    My life has generally been devoted to the pursuit of technical ambitions, being a graduate of Software Engineering and working for a financial services company as a software developer. However, I have many interests in humanities - history and politics mainly - providing fuel for my creative outlet of writing. I try and integrate equal parts of bleak and almost brutal analysis together with sardonic comedy to produce works that I hope will offer new perspectives and reflect actual social issues in the real world.

      INTRODUCTION

      In modern society the ideal of capitalism has come to encompass a board ranging principal that underpins many social and political structures. In many Western democracies the idea of free market capitalism is strongly intertwined with concepts such as freedom, opportunity and the elimination of cumbersome bureaucracy. It is almost held as sacrosanct that for freedom to exist, there must also be capitalism.
