      I think capitalism’s resilience has surprised a lot of people. Although, maybe it shouldn’t have. As long as capitalism is able to make some people unfathomably wealthy, there’s no reason to believe it’s going anywhere.

      Capitalism has been with us since basically the beginning of humans if you think about it. The odds of it dying is about the same as you winning the powerball lottery 6 times in a row.

        ?

        Capitalism is a very recent concept in human history.

        Only by conflating economics and capitalism could you come to the conclusion you just did.

          Don’t need currency for capitalism. There is bartering. I could start a company and pay my people in eggs bacon and cheese
