"Catallactics," Hayek says on the other hand, "was derived from the Greek verb katallatein (orkatallasein) which meant, significantly, not only `to exchange' but also `to admit into the community' and `to change from enemy into friend'." Someone who studies the market process would be called a "catalactist" rather than an "economist."

The catallaxy is a spontaneous order, for which the Greeks had another word: kosmos. Oxford defines "cosmos" as "the universe as an ordered whole; an ordered system of ideas, etc; the sum total of experience." "Catallaxy" and "cosmos" are synonyms for this self-organizing and self-regulating system, although catallaxy is more specific to human affairs, especially to market phenomena.

"Cosmos" is the root for felicitous and reputable words that accurately describe a society that fully embodies the universal goals of modern man: namely, one in which there is order, individual sovereignty, self-actualization, justice, tolerance, mercy, peace, reason, fair-mindedness, prosperity, equalitarianism, and optimism -- a humanitarian or humanistic order.

商業は旗のやうなものである 貿易の海をこえて遠く外國からくる船舶よ あるいは綿や瑪瑙をのせ 南洋　亞細亞の島島をめぐりあるく異國のまどろすよ。 商業の旗は地球の國國にひるがへり 自由の領土のいたるところに吹かれてゐる。 商人よ 港に君の荷物は積まれ さうして運命は出帆の汽笛を鳴らした。 荷主よ 水先案内（ぱいろつと）よ いまおそろしい嵐のまへに　むくむくと盛りあがる雲を見ないか 妖魔のあれ狂ふすがたを見ないか たちまち帆柱は裂きくだかれ するどく笛のさけばれ さうして船腹の浮きあがる青じろい死魚を見る。 ああ日はしづみゆき かなしく沖合にさまよふ不吉の鴎はなにを歌ふぞ。 商人よ ふたたび椰子の葉の茂る港にかへり 君のあたらしい綿と瑪瑙を積みかへせ 亞細亞のふしぎなる港々にさまよひ來り 青空高くひるがへる商業の旗の上に ああかのさびしげなる幽靈船のうかぶをみる。 商人よ！　君は冒險にして自由の人 君は白い雲のやうに、この解きがたくふしぎなる愁ひをしる。 商業は旗のやうなものである。

Capitalism, or Catallaxy?

Is it time for us to abandon Capitalism as a term?  As Wikipedia describes, 

First discussed by Ludwig von Mises, Catallaxy was later coined and made popular by Friedrich Hayek who defines it as follows:

‘the order brought about by the mutual adjustment of many individual economies in a market’.

Hayek derived the word from the Greek word ‘katallasso’ (καταλλάσσω) which meant not only ‘to exchange’ but also ‘to admit in the community’ and ‘to make friends’.

Pros:

we can abandon most of the linguistic baggage that leftists have hung onto the word "Capitalism"

we can more easily distinguish between the free market system that we are talking about from the Mercantilist/Corporatist policies which are actually in existence

it's a pleasant term which rolls off the tongue

Cons:

virtually nobody outside of Austrian economics has heard of the term, whereas Capitalism has a long, popular history, worldwide, thanks to US Cold War propaganda

it kind of sounds like "Cadillac-sy", which might still play into silly leftist charges of elitism.
