Kapitalistický

"Kapitalistický" is the Slovak adjective meaning capitalist. It refers to a system of economic organization characterized by private ownership of the means of production, the pursuit of profit, and the operation of markets. In a kapitalistický system, economic decisions are largely determined by supply and demand, with competition playing a significant role.

The term "kapitalistický" can be used to describe economic policies, societies, or ways of thinking that align with these principles. For example, one might discuss "kapitalistický trh" (capitalist market) or "kapitalistická spoločnosť" (capitalist society). It often contrasts with socialist or communist economic systems, where the state or collective ownership of the means of production is emphasized.

The historical development of kapitalistický systems has led to diverse forms, from early mercantilism to modern globalized economies. Debates surrounding kapitalistický principles often involve discussions about wealth inequality, economic growth, worker rights, and the role of government regulation. Understanding "kapitalistický" is crucial for comprehending contemporary global economic structures and political discourse.
