Thanks to capitalism, those individuals are now able to improve financial situations by creating a business, a product, etc. Capitalism also encourages competition, which means that various areas, such as technology, are always improving in an effort to be better than the other competition. This competition also allows for a lot of innovation. We are constantly being presented with new products or companies that are delving into a market that hasn't yet been explored. However, I don't feel that the future prospects of capitalism will be as beneficial for the general public as they were in the past. It is much harder for smaller companies to stay afloat.
