capitalistic
Favoring private enterprise
Capitalistic describes systems, practices, or attitudes associated with capitalism—private ownership, free markets, and profit-seeking.
The word often carries critical undertones, implying excessive focus on money or exploitation: Their capitalistic greed destroyed the town.
More neutrally, it simply means market-oriented: capitalistic economies, capitalistic reforms.
