Disability Justice Critique of Capitalism
From a disability justice perspective, capitalism is critiqued for its emphasis on wealth accumulation and competition, which often marginalizes disabled individuals. This critique argues that capitalist systems define labor and productivity according to able-bodied, neurotypical standards, rendering the contributions of many disabled people invisible or devalued. It posits that an individual's worth should not be contingent on their capacity for production within a competitive framework.

Perspectives on Capitalism
Imagine an economy where individuals own factories and equipment, hire workers to produce goods, and sell these goods to consumers for a profit. Which of the following scenarios describes a fundamental change that would cause this system to no longer be classified as capitalist?
Analysis of an Economic System
Match each core institution of an economic system with the scenario that best illustrates its specific role.
An economic system where individuals can own productive assets (like tools and buildings) and can freely buy and sell goods with each other is, by definition, a capitalist system.
Essential Institutions of an Economic System
Evaluating an Economic System's Classification
Consider an economic system where self-employed artisans own their own workshops and tools, produce goods, and sell them directly to consumers in a competitive local bazaar. While this system involves private ownership and a place for exchange, why might it not be classified as a fully capitalist system?
Evaluating an Economic System's Definition
Analyzing an Economic System's Structure
For an economic system to be classified as capitalist, it is essential that all productive assets are owned by private individuals and that there is no government ownership of any enterprise.
Distinguishing Capitalist Systems
A defining characteristic of a capitalist economic system is its dual structure of power. Which of the following statements best analyzes this combination of centralized and decentralized power?
Consider an economic system characterized by two main features: 1) Individuals and families own their own land, buildings, and equipment. 2) There is a system for individuals to voluntarily exchange goods and services with each other for mutual benefit. Despite these features, most production is done by individual artisans or within family units. Why does this system fail to meet the specific economic definition of capitalism?
