In real life, | In real life, capitalism is a global economic system. It has been defined in various ways, with wage labour, commodity production for profit, private ownership of the means of production, voluntary exchange, competitive markets, and many more, all being suggested by various sources as "a defining feature". However, no attempt at any sort of definition, whether mainstream, libertarian, Marxist, or of any other nature, has been made in the series, meaning this page can only include examples that specifically use the ''word'' capitalism. This means that stories such [[PROSE]]: ''[[Closing the Account (short story)|Closing the Account]]'', featuring the Doctor meeting Stalin and implying that capitalism will be overthrown some unspecified time in humanity’s future, and [[TV]]: ''[[Kerblam! (TV story)|Kerblam!]]'' featuring a line about how "the problem isn’t the System", (referring in-universe to an AI program literally called "the System", albeit with an obvious metatextual implication) cannot be mentioned in the in-universe portion of the page. | ||
