Editing Financial capital (section)

==Economic role==
[[Socialism]], [[capitalism]], [[feudalism]], [[anarchism]], and other [[civics|civic theories]] take markedly different views of the role of financial capital in social life, and propose various political restrictions to deal with that.

Financial capitalism is the production of profit from the manipulation of financial capital. It is held in contrast to [[industrial capitalism]], where profit is made from the manufacture of goods.
