Criticism of capitalism ranges from expressing disagreement with the principles of
capitalism in its entirety, to expressing disagreement with particular outcomes of capitalism. Among those wishing to replace capitalism with a different method of production and social organization, a distinction can be made between those believing that capitalism can only be overcome through
revolution (e.g.,
revolutionary socialism) and those believing that structural change can come slowly through
political reforms (e.g.,
social democracy). Some critics believe there are merits in capitalism, and wish to balance it with some form of social control, typically through government regulation (e.g., the
social market movement).
