Individuals in capitalist economies are motivated by the interests of the community.

a. True

b. False

No, this is not typically true and it is less true than in the case of a communist society or a collectivist society.

Capitalist economies typically support individualism because you are encouraged to make your choice all the time: what you want to buy, what you want to produce and for how much, while in communist societies these decisions are taken by the government.
