The [[Unbound Doctor]] described '''capitalism''' as; "Some people win; most lose all they had.", ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Emporium at the End (audio story)}}) although there was disagreement as to whether or not this descriptor was also fairly applicable to the version of capitalism in operation in [[N-Space]], as well, with various incarnations of [[the Doctor]] displaying different opinions on this; with, for instance, the [[Twelfth Doctor|Twelfth]] ([[TV]]: {{cs|Oxygen (TV story)}}) and [[Fifteenth Doctor]]s expressing similarly negative views, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Boom (TV story)}}) but the [[Third Doctor|Third]] having more mixed views, believing unemployment to be "capitalism’s biggest problem", but admitting to the [[President (The Paradise of Death)|President]] that he "seem[ed] to have fixed" that.
