- Retric 3y agoHis basic premise is incorrect. Markets aren’t a significant part of all economic systems. Historically tribes didn’t operate under some universal system but webs of reciprocal gift giving was common. The best modern example might be Amish barn raising where members in good standing can receive a great deal of labor without direct compensation but to stay in good standing means providing the community with labor. As to the decline in fertility that’s got many causes from access to birth control to pollution such as micro plastics directly reducing fertility. Negative impacts from capitalism play a role, but it isn’t so simple.
