ABSTRACT
This chapter promotes awareness, prevent misunderstandings and help everyone to determine their own values and rights. It analyzes the contradictions within capitalism and explains the conflicting aspects of capitalist system with the aspirations of humanity as developed over thousands of years. The chapter believes that the Anatolian culture has an important duty in the development of a new economic system. Capitalism gained momentum after the so-called Washington Consensus among the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the US Treasury in the 1980s, and the fall of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) in 1990. The personal profile of capitalism, which has become a faith, and the personal profile of the other faith systems that have tried to glorify human beings over the centuries are very different from each other. Human beings defined by capitalism are: self-centered, competitive with others, and seeking solely in their own self-interest.
