Capitalist system in a few words

In my view the two pillars of capitalism are : GREED at one side, and FEAR at the other. GREED is what runs the capitalist and his creation, the corportations, and FEAR is what runs the mass of people in this system, fear of poverty, of unemployment, of "having less than their neighbor". In a society based on greed and fear I don't see much room for empathy, for humanity, for co-operation. It is a system based on dog eat dog
