Even if I'm ok with calling capitalism a "system", it still is a "system" which consists in abstractly dividing capital into shares that can then be exchanged on a market.
This "system" is an abstract representation which you can't do without unless you prohibit the use of maths or freedom of exchange. That's what I meant: capitalism is a natural consequence of economic freedom. Calling it a system sounds very derogative to me as it colors it as artificial and optional. It is not.
- ThomPete 12y agoWell I can't be held responsible for your use of the term system. I use it like it's used normally which implies both articial and natural (eco-systems. Everything is an abstract representation at the end of the day. Capitlism not less so. And everything is the natural consequence of something. You seem to be doing exactly what you accuse the OP for which is playing rethorical games instead of addressing the actual points the article is going through.
