Capitalism generates significant inequalities in income and wealth which reduce overall social welfare. While private ownership and market forces lead to economic growth, capitalism also produces goods and services that are harmful or do not meet real social needs. The system is also unstable and prone to economic crises. Some failed capitalist states have extreme poverty, while others require costly bailouts. Islam prohibits practices like usury and monopoly that are necessary for capitalism to grow. In conclusion, capitalism has become a curse by prioritizing profits over people through exploitation, unsafe products, pollution, and corruption.

AN ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL SYSTEM IN WHICH A
COUNTRY’S TRADE AND INDUSTRY ARE CONTROLLED BY
PRIVATE OWNERS FOR PROFIT, RATHER THAN BY THE STATE:

3. 1. Capitalism is self-regulatory. It is
regulated by market mechanism leading to
several benefits for the economy.
2. It is claimed that the process of economic
growth is faster under capitalism. This is
because the investors try to invest in only
those projects, which are economically
viable as dictated by the Market forces.

4. 3. The capitalist system decides what to
produce and how to produce in consonance
with the forces of demand and supply.
4. It is generally believed that long-term
projects are more productive facilities.
5. Every economic unit tries to adopt a set of

5. 1.Capitalism generates inequalities of
income and wealth.
2.The poverty is not acute in absolute

welfare of the society as a whole.

6. 3.The inequalities of income and wealth,
together with the institution of inheritance
leads to wide differences in economic
opportunities.
4. The composition of production in capitalism
follows the pattern of demand. However on
account of inequalities, the pattern of
demand does not represent real needs the
society.
5. It is maintained by critics that capitalism
wastes its productive resources in several

7. 6. In a capitalist economy, it is not profitable to
produce a number of ‘merit goods’ because they
have a high cost of production and large
sections of consumers are not able to pay for
them.
7. In contrast, the capitalist system may be
producing a number of goods and services,
which are positively harmful for the society.
Business units produce only those goods and
services, which are profitable to do so even
when they are harmful such as cigarette and
tobacco.

policies on the continent, 85% of country lives

9.  America

stock market crashes.

10. ISLAM & CAPITALISM
 Capitalism cannot prosper or grow without
interest, usury and monopoly.
 The capitalist system is always exposed to
periodic crises resulting from depression caused
by low wages and the scantiness of world
consumption in relation to increasing production.
 Abnormal Profit.
All of which were prohibited by Islam about one
thousand years before the existence of
capitalism.

11. CONCLUSION

53% people of this survey, say that
Capitalism is bad because,
 Labor exploitation
 Economic inequalities
 Unsafe food and medicine
 Pollution
