cap?i?tal?ism (k?p'?-tl-?z'?m)
n. 
An economic system in which the means of production and distribution are 
privately or corporately owned and development is proportionate to the 
accumulation and reinvestment of profits gained in a free market.

You put money in, you take money out.  Hopefully, you take out more than 
you put in.  If you put in more than you take out, you go broke.  So if 
you raise fees and depress sales volume, you may or may not regain market 
share when your sales base diminishs below your required return on 
investment.
