[Health & Sexuality Info](/health-info)# capitalism

The globally dominant economic system, which is driven by private and corporate ownership, profit-seeking, monetizing all aspects of life, and an each-person-for-themselves ethos. It is characterized by exploitation, extreme inequality, environmental destruction, oppression, militarism, and the overall moral bankruptcy of using everyone and everything in life as a means to make money. Capitalism continues to have devastating consequences in individuals, societies, and the environment, as it has throughout history.
