What is the economic system in the united states?

I’ve seen different explanations online, so I’d like clarification. What is the economic system in the united states? Is it purely capitalist, or is it considered a mixed economy with government involvement?

The United States' economic system is characterized as a mixed economy. It combines elements of capitalism and government involvement. Most businesses are privately owned, and their prices are determined by the interplay of supply and demand. However, the government regulates industries, provides public services, and runs programs like Social Security to support citizens and stabilize markets.

The economic system in the United States is a mixed economy, combining capitalist market principles with government regulation. Private businesses drive production and innovation, while the government provides oversight, social programs, and interventions to stabilize markets and protect consumers.
