Capitalism is one type of economic system

2018-02-07 02:14:03 UTC  

As is communism

2018-02-07 02:14:08 UTC  

As is gift economy

2018-02-07 02:14:09 UTC  

and capitalism is economics' implications!

2018-02-07 02:14:10 UTC  

Bartering

2018-02-07 02:14:14 UTC  

oh, i get it!

2018-02-07 02:14:21 UTC  

that's why there is systems like syndicalism

2018-02-07 02:14:27 UTC  

Yes

2018-02-07 02:14:33 UTC  

because economics can be applied to not just capitalism!

2018-02-07 02:14:42 UTC  

ok, i get this now

2018-02-07 02:14:46 UTC  

Well, the saying would be the other way around

2018-02-07 02:14:52 UTC  

Capitalism =/= economics

2018-02-07 02:15:04 UTC  

Even prior to capitalism

2018-02-07 02:15:10 UTC  

We had economic systems

2018-02-07 02:15:18 UTC  

but isnt one of the main practices of capitalism the circulation of currency?

2018-02-07 02:15:38 UTC  

Yes, but circulation of currency is only an aspect of capitalism

2018-02-07 02:15:51 UTC  

Currency isnt intrinsic economics

2018-02-07 02:15:53 UTC  

so it does have something to do with economics

2018-02-07 02:15:56 UTC  

You dont have to have currency

2018-02-07 02:16:00 UTC  

it doesnt have to equal economics entirely

2018-02-07 02:16:03 UTC  

To have an economic system

2018-02-07 02:16:20 UTC  

but the implications of economics into capitalism is enough to say capitalism is an economic system

2018-02-07 02:16:22 UTC  

It doesnt equal it at all, it is literally just one type of economic syatem

2018-02-07 02:16:32 UTC  

Yes

2018-02-07 02:17:08 UTC  

corporations are also one of the main practices of capitalism, a way to expand power

2018-02-07 02:17:19 UTC  

Isn't capitalism the agreement of private property and to maintain contracts?

2018-02-07 02:17:30 UTC  

america is considered a big corporation, because that's what it was built upon

2018-02-07 02:17:47 UTC  

corruption doesnt change the fact that capitalism is still an economic system

2018-02-07 02:17:55 UTC  

And no muffin

2018-02-07 02:17:59 UTC  

It isnt

2018-02-07 02:18:03 UTC  
2018-02-07 02:18:08 UTC  

its one of the PRACTICES

2018-02-07 02:18:16 UTC  

it doesnt have to be practiced

2018-02-07 02:18:21 UTC  

but private property does

2018-02-07 02:18:27 UTC  

Thats not exclusive to capitalism

2018-02-07 02:18:41 UTC  

You had private property under fuedalism

2018-02-07 02:18:54 UTC  

true

2018-02-07 02:19:07 UTC  

but just because one system had it, doesnt mean it cant apply to the other

2018-02-07 02:19:17 UTC  

it was exclusive under both

2018-02-07 02:19:19 UTC  

and it is now

2018-02-07 02:19:26 UTC  

both relied on it to expand power
