    Capitalism, as an economic system, focuses on private ownership… The emergence of an oligarchy often has more to do with how political power is distributed and regulated…

    Ownership of private property is political power, and always has been.

    Liberal society is sustained by the fiction that economic power is separate and distinct from political power, even while no society ever has occurred in history, nor possibly could be formed, following such an ideal.
