Antonym of the Market

  Charity is one enticing opposite. Caritas embodies benevolence, antithetical to the ruthless shouts of traders on an exchange floor. But even charity is bound to redistribution. The path toward becoming a philanthropist often starts with setting unprecedented records of financial success, charging the most for an hour of time, winning the Market itself.

I keep running into this meme, that charity is somehow antithetical to capitalism, rather than another category of goods that capitalists buy, often as a luxury. With fewer successful capitalists there would be less spent on both charity and yachts, for the same status seeking reasons.

Economists have a term for the antonym of a market economy: a command economy.
