Talk:capitalism

Most of the information about "Capitalism" here is really about something like Monetarism or Mercantilism.. meaning, it is only thought of as Capital+State. But "Capitalism" is really just a theory that people trade with something that represents value. If pearls are most-used for trading, then the capital is pearls. If most people trade using gold, capital=gold. On the Anarcho-Capitalism page, this is not addressed but there's a relevant quote by Ghandi, where he mentions people will always use capital, so "Capitalism" isn't evil in itself, because it's just a way that people trade. He is not using a definition of Capital+State!

Maybe there can be a section that talks about Capital as separate from State (because people are free to choose anything they want as capital, if there is no state to force the opposite). -Rz
