She was rich, no doubt about that. But was she a capitalist in the same sense that her late husband Ari was, as a tanker magnate, or her previous late husband, as CEO of the world bourgeoisie? Gore Vidal said that Jackie loved money and publicity and little else. That makes her the opposite of a capitalist in some ways - an old-fashioned rich person who enjoyed hoarding and/or spending, but not throwing her capital into the M-C-M' circuitry.
