Often capitalism is part of a wider, LibertariaN social theory that advocates the absence of political intervention from most aspects of society.

A capitalist economy has many features, including businesses operating on the profit motive, large scale trade, and prices that fluctuate in response to changes in supply and demand.  Some people consider any economy that prominently exhibits such features to be a capitalist economy, regardless of the degree of political intervention.  Typically when people define capitalism in this way they are denying or not recognizing the distinction between politics and economics.

No economy in history has been purely capitalist in the sense of having a complete absence of political intervention.  In fact, the idea that an economy could be free of political intervention apparently did not occur to anyone until the late 18th century.  This makes capitalism one of the more radical ideas in human history.

Capitalist economic theory was first formalized by AdamSmith in 1776, in an attempt to refute MercantilisM.  Other prominent capitalist theorists include DavidRicardo, LudwigvonMises, FreidrichHayrk, and MiltonFriedman.

CaptitalisM is a much overused political term, which has little to do with economics. This is a very biased, right-wing article, written in a style that reminds me of Goebbels' propaganda. The theorists mentioned (Hayek, Friedman, etc.) are prominent economomisits. Their motives were far from involving themselves in a political discussion of this sort (Keynes had very different views to the gentlenmen mentioned above, but one cannot say that he was anti-capitalist). -- WojPob
