What is capitalism?

Capitalism is not merely an economic system,but a peculiar attitude of mind and behaviour.

Basically it springs out of the notion of the capitalist

That he has earned his wealth by his own ability,
Skill , knowledge and sagacity .

So he has an absolute right to expend and use this wealth .

He develops a superiority complex and ignores the fact that he has come to possess wealth not only by his own ability,but also due to many other factors

Operating in the society.

He forgets that it is his human and moral obligation to pay a just compensation for these social factors.

This mental attitude of the members of the society.

The capitalist uses his money power to draw more and more white or black money into his coffers.

Rather than invest his monetary resources in social welfare the capitalist fritters them away in sensual pleasure and luxurious living.

This capitalistic mind_set and it's resultant economic and social strife has existed in one form or other in all epochs of human history...

The Holy Quran presents Quran as the representative of this way of thinking.
Quran was one of the Beni Israel, ywr instead of. Cooperating he strongly opposed
Prophet Moses' (AS) movement of Reform and Emancipation of Economically and politically oppressed Israelites.

To safeguard and promote his own economic interest Quran sided with Pharaoh against his own people.
