Each individual in capitalist society works for maximizing profit. The success and failure is solely based on free market competition. USA is the best example of capitalist society.
Socialism is the economic system in which the property and means of production is owned by people collectively or society and it is regulated and managed by the government. The means of production are used for the collective good of people. Theoretically socialism have more benefit than capitalism the means of production are owned by society and used for the good and betterment of the people of society. however in capitalist society rich get richer and poor get poorer, because rich people owns the means of production and use them for their personal gain, all the efforts are put together by workers for production and the owner skims all the profits and workers are left with minimum wedge. In which workers can hardly afford their living.
