(Noun)
A capitalist theory which opposes economic domination by large corporations in favor of small-scale, generally local businesses, thus leaving most economic activity to the petite bourgeoisie.
Businesses operating on this theory are often characterized by a kitschy, cozy aesthetic, cheugy merchandise, and a strong pride in being small local businesses.
Allison prefers quaint capitalism over corporatism, so she shops at her local farmers' market instead of the grocery store.
