# Capitalism isn't even a philosophy, it's a side effect of freedom.
Is it? In the country where capitalism came from "in 1831 a mere 4,500 men, out of a population of more than 2.6 million people, were entitled to vote in parliamentary elections" http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/pathways/citizenship/struggle_democracy/getting_vote.htm http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/pathways/citizenship/stru...
- SamReidHughes 7y agoVoting has nothing to do with freedom. And Scotland didn’t invent capitalism, what are you talking about?
- MichaelMoser123 7y agoEngland / UK invented capitalism. In 1831 you already had GB. (correct quote was that you got 3% of the population as voters - but you argue that it doesn't matter anyway) I don't quite understand what kind of freedom they had at a time when the body that coins all laws was determined by 3% of the population.
