Capitalism and Patriarchy

Capitalism is an economic system where private individuals or businesses own resources and operate for profit, emphasizing competition and individual wealth. Patriarchy is a social system where men hold primary power in roles of political leadership, moral authority, social privilege, and control of property, often resulting in gender-based inequalities. Both systems shape societal structures: capitalism influences economic opportunities and class dynamics, while patriarchy influences gender roles and power relations. Together, they can reinforce social advantages for certain groups and create barriers for others, impacting fairness and equality across various aspects of life.
