Arguing that a society was a capitalist one just because small merchants and laborers and farmers were active in it, and engaging in free trade, etc, is silly.

Well this baffles me, but perhaps I don't understand the actualition of the term "capitalism". At least, one could say that those small merchants and laborers and farmers were engaged in "free enterprise", right? So,what is the difference between "free enterprise" and "capitalism"?
