Capitalism

Capitalism was an economic and political system used in the galaxy. In 22 BBY, during a business meeting with major galactic business leaders who sat on the Separatist Council, Count Dooku promised the Confederacy of Independent Systems (CIS) was totally faithful to capitalism, promising that their support would increase their profits to unseen levels thanks to completely free trade: Dooku stated the CIS would offer lower taxes and reduced tariffs, with the ultimate aim of removing all barriers to trade. Ultimately, the corporations agreed to help Dooku and his confederacy. However, such companies were also were willing to maintain business with the Galactic Republic to profit off both factions in the ensuing Clone Wars.
