    Not strictly speaking - market economies, even under predominantly capitalist systems, still include a large number of workers’ coops and sole-proprietor firms. Markets predate capitalism, and markets will likely post-date it too.

    Capitalism is in reference to systems of limited-liability stock corporations which allow extremely fluid (and divided) ownership of capital by an investor class.
