The beauty of capitalism is that both parties can benefit from trade.

  why did anyone trade prior to capitalism?

    Consensual trade between rational actors leads to both of them benefiting. Before capitalism, the ideology which focused on property rights and individual freedoms didn't really have a name...

      so how's it the beauty of capitalism?
      • SR2Z 5mo ago
        'cause that's the one where you get to own things?
        • pasquinelli 5mo ago
          if that's the one where you get to own things then there wasn't trade before capitalism, because you can't trade things without ownership. is that what you're saying?
