From inclosure,
To colonialism,
To the modern order arising out of the 70s and early 2000s with neoliberalism
It has always been about accumulating capital.
And to do this, you need to exploit people
As they did
wait a minute
i think im being educated real quick
there is a slight difference between economics and capitalism is there?
I mean economics is the field of study
Capitalism is one type of economic system
As is communism
As is gift economy
and capitalism is economics' implications!
Bartering
oh, i get it!
that's why there is systems like syndicalism
Yes
because economics can be applied to not just capitalism!
ok, i get this now
Capitalism =/= economics
Even prior to capitalism
We had economic systems
but isnt one of the main practices of capitalism the circulation of currency?
Yes, but circulation of currency is only an aspect of capitalism
Currency isnt intrinsic economics
so it does have something to do with economics
You dont have to have currency
it doesnt have to equal economics entirely
To have an economic system
but the implications of economics into capitalism is enough to say capitalism is an economic system
It doesnt equal it at all, it is literally just one type of economic syatem
Yes
corporations are also one of the main practices of capitalism, a way to expand power
Isn't capitalism the agreement of private property and to maintain contracts?
america is considered a big corporation, because that's what it was built upon
corruption doesnt change the fact that capitalism is still an economic system
And no muffin
It isnt
