- Capitalism organizes the production and distribution of goods and services based on private property, markets, and private profit-oriented firms.
- Types of capitalism include turbo capitalism, crony capitalism, state capitalism, advanced capitalism, and responsible capitalism.
- Private ownership, firm-based production, markets, and commodification of labor are necessary but not sufficient for takeoff to occur.
- Factors that promote takeoff include private incentives for innovation, able managers, public policy, and stable society and resources.
- Firms exist to produce goods and services based on a particular technology and combination of inputs.
- Profit maximization is the goal of firms, and division of labor is a key factor in maximizing productivity and wealth creation in capitalism.
- Division of labor makes workers more productive due to specialization, time-saving, and invention of new machines.
- Division of labor requires coordination within and between firms and markets.
- Firms represent a concentration of economic power in the hands of owners and managers, and their size and power affect both inside and outside the firm.
- Competitive markets are characterized by decentralization of power and regulation.
