Socialism puts the state in command, and most countries adhering to socialism favor the manufacturing of steel, machinery, and other capital goods over the production of consumer goods. Capitalism, in contrast, seeks to satisfy the demands of consumers.
社會主義強調國家至上，大部分國家都以鋼鐵、機械生產為重，民生生產次之；資本主義則重視滿足消費者的需求。
