Capitalist
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- The word Capitalist was originally minted by William Thackeray in the sense of one who owns capital, and was more precisely defined by Karl Marx in Das Kapital as one who owned working capital including machinery and made money by letting others work on those machines. Being a capitalist in this original sense does not necessarily mean that one supports capitalism.
- A Capitalist has more recently come to refer to someone who supports Capitalism or a free market ideology.
- Very recently a Risk Capitalist has come to be used as an equivalent to a Venture Capitalist.
