- vannevar 5y agoOf course. How is that related to the point you're trying to make?
- pram 5y agoThe point being the things I listed are pre-capitalist sociological and economic structures.
- vannevar 5y agoThanks. I guess that goes along with the discussion in the thread above about just when capitalism emerged. I would argue that it was essentially there at the beginning of private property, but that it was overshadowed by government until the 18th century, when it became relevant to talk about capital apart from government because it was now capable of creating change in society at a scale formerly only associated with the state.
