Is capitalism better than Socialism?

I wrote this paper from my own perspective and there can be controversies in ideas, one may agree or disagree. Neither am I a scholar nor an economist. However, I wrote this after reading different views of different people and analyzing things.
Every country and nation is striving for development and many of them succeeded in that. The countries that are said to be developed are USA, UK, Singapore, Canada, South Korea, Norway, France, etc. So, what are those policies and factors that made them developed? In every country, there is a system and government that runs the country and that either leads to construction or destruction. Capitalism is that system that invokes development to many of the above-mentioned countries. Capitalism is not just a school of thought but it is a complete system that defines different factors. So, is capitalism better than other systems like Socialism?
If I answer this question it would be “Indeed”. The first and foremost thing is that capitalism promotes making choice by own. It promotes the ability of a person to make a decision however he wants. Like whatever he wants to buy he can no one is there to stop him. Secondly, capitalists hardly stop their selves from creating and exploiting opportunities because they think that the world is full of opportunities to exploit one and go for others by investment. Moreover, capitalism promotes fairness by incentivizing those who do work. This means a person who strives and works more will be paid more. And finally, capitalism provides better outcomes. Group of people could take better decisions rather than an exterior party (Government) which just interrupt and spoil. If the decisions are better then better outcomes are inevitable. On the contrary, other system does not promote freedom to make choice because of interruption in the market which led the market to be anguished. The world is seen as it is with scarce resources and scarce opportunities. Furthermore, socialism promotes equality, but would one be ready to share his income that is earned by putting a lot of effort? Intervening in the market and taking decisions of the market is questionable, will decisions be right?
To summarize all, capitalism gives better ideas for running a system.

Myth of Freelancing | Opinion

Image
Freelancing is very easy, and you can be your own boss. You can do whatever, whenever, and wherever. You may have heard these lines very often. In my opinion however, these are flawed lines and are used only to develop interest and have nothing to do with freelancing in reality. Almost all experienced freelancers would suggest you : stick to only one skill set. So that you can focus on your expertise and provide greater value. But I will somehow disagree with them because what they are saying may be quite right, but only for their own level. They rarely understand or speak on beginner’s level. The level that they are at, has much freelance work, and has a team of their own. So, they are not facing the same problems as the beginners. As a matter of fact, there are many complexities as you start your journey at freelancing as a beginner. Not only you need to be patient, which is said by almost everybody, but also you need to have enough time, enthusiasm and sometimes little i...

Embrace Equity International Women’s Day is an important event celebrated annually worldwide, honoring the contributions and achievements of women. This year's theme, "Embrace Equity," highlights the need for gender equality, particularly in Pakistan, where women face a myriad of challenges daily.

Women in Pakistan are disproportionately affected by poverty, with limited access to education, healthcare, and employment opportunities.   In recent years, there have been positive changes in Pakistan regarding women's rights. The government has t...

Paper Discussion Throughout my whole academic career, I had a negative attitude towards paper discussion i.e. I got irritated every time whenever I saw my friends discussing paper. However, it is until recently that I realized the potential benefit of paper discussion. What is paper discussion? When I say paper discussion, I mean discussion of paper i.e. exam pape r just before as well as just after the exam. Before the start of an exam, students usually discuss about important points regarding exam, or even chances of a particular question. After the end of exam, students usually discuss the answers. Defining Why paper discussion is Important? Paper discussion is important due to various reasons. Rather than discussing these reasons at one place, let's look at these reasons separately i.e. just before and after the exam. Just before the Exam Just before the start of your exam, you are almost done with your preparation and sometimes even wit...
