 * ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Socialism ‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍ **

Definition: Socialism is an economic system that focuses on cooperation rather than competition and a political theory that regards the society as a whole, so the society can own and control the products, capital, land and resources to manage and distribute based on the public benefit. Socialism is the transition between the capitalism and communism.

History: In 1516, a British [|Thomas More] wrote a book called Utopia which was about the most perfect national system. The appearance of the book has a great significance, so More became the originator of [|Utopianism].

In 19th century, [|Karl Marx] finished the development of socialism from Utopianism to Scientism. When Karl Marxand and [|Friedrich Engels] wrote the word “socialism” in their each article firstly, they gave it the meaning of science.

Essential Differences Between Socialism and Capitalism:

Socialism focuses on the planned economy and capitalism concentrates on the market economy.

[|Planned economy] means the government plans how the economy develops, including the production, the distribution of resources and the consumption of products in order to avoid the aimlessness and uncertainty of development of the market economy.

[|Market economy] means business is traded freely in the market without the plan of the government. The market is adjusted by itself through the change of the demand and supply. It is thought as the way that can produce most benefits.
