In 1990s, American computer industry developed rapidly, which promoted the global high-tech information industry and started a new generation of industrial revolution.
Extended data:
Capitalism developed from feudal society. In feudal society, landlords rented land to farmers to sow. During the lease period, the land is controlled by farmers, but they must pay land rent and other taxes to the landlord regularly. Capitalism was replaced by agricultural workers working on the farms of agricultural capitalists, and then they took the money and left without taking control of the land. There is an employment relationship between capitalists and workers in capitalism. Capitalism refers to the meaning that capital dominates social economy and politics, and there is no accurate definition. Different economists have different definitions.

Now the developed capitalist countries have reached the political system of the integration of government and enterprise. That is, financial giants elect their spokespersons to form a government through joint means, while multinational economic giants can control other countries through elections and wars, thus expanding their sphere of influence.
