During your turns, Actions with + amounts in their text are also Treasures. |
Capitalism is a Project from Renaissance. Once you've claimed this ability, on your turns Action cards that produce acquire the Treasure type. This allows these Action cards to be played non-terminally during your Buy phase and to interact with cards that care about Treasures, such as Mine and Pirate Ship.

FAQ
Official FAQ
- To be affected, a card must have a + amount in its text, not just a amount - for example, Capitalism turns Improve into a Treasure, but does not affect Inventor.
- Having Capitalism means you can play any number of Action cards with + amounts in your Buy phase (without using up Action plays).
- It also means that things that interact with Treasure cards also interact with those cards; for example, if you have Capitalism, you can use Treasurer to gain an Improve from the trash, since Improve is a Treasure on your turns.
- Any time you play an Action - Treasure card, it is both an Action and a Treasure, regardless of which phase it is.
- Getting +1 Action in your Buy phase does not let you play other Action cards then.
- Capitalism works on your turn, but affects cards everywhere; for example if you have Capitalism and play Bandit, you could trash another player's Improve, and it is not relevant if that player has Capitalism or not.

Capitalism and Patron are the only card-shaped things to care about the text on cards.
Secret History
There was a thing that made your Silvers be Peddlers in your Action phase, then a thing that tried making your Treasures into Actions. It just isn't useful often enough. Once I hit on this, it was a question, should it be "+ amounts" or specific ones, e.g. "+ or +." We tried it both ways.
