STANDARDS:H.3.b; H.2.d; E.1.a

 Economic system in which the means of production are privately owned and operated for a private profit  Free-market economy: decisions regarding supply, demand, price, distribution, and investments are made by private actors  Profit goes to owners who invest in the business  Wages are paid to workers employed by companies and businesses

× People as a society would operate and own the means of production, not individuals × Their goal was a society that benefited everyone, not just a rich, well-connected few × Tried to build perfect communities [utopias]
