    I’d be happy if you can cite the source of your “how it plays out in the real world” definition, if you want to argue that it’s a commonly agreed definition.

      What other explanation would you have for the endless pursuit of growth if not capitalism? What other explanation would you have for larger companies pushing smaller ones out if not capitalism. I’m talking both the “why” but also the “how”? Consider the mechanisms of how a company such as Wal-mart can go into a small town and drive everyone else out of business. And then consider why they do it.

          You seem to think if it’s not explicitly in a dictionary, then it doesn’t define a word. That’s not how the real world works.
