Capitalism is based on private ownership, so farms and factories are owned by individuals or businesses. People generally make economic choices in pursuit of their own interests, while supply and demand help determine what is produced and in what quantities. Government-set prices and wages are not defining features of capitalism, and Karl Marx criticized capitalism rather than favoring it.
