capitalism may be a new name, but its essentials have been around since trade & private property started - the market was always free until interfered with by monopoly [wealth concentration], regulation, etc - freemarket=trade - wealth concentration [overpay, unjust fortunes, legal & illegal theft fortunes] is the enemy of the freemarket, of capitalism - the founding fathers based american democracy-freedom-justice on the just limitation of fortunes, the breaking up of aggregations of wealth by prohibiting entail & primogeniture, fixing clergy salaries, warning against the corprtn, by opposing the richgetricheretc, moneymakesmoney -
why is it hard to see that wealth=power, overwealth=overpower=tyranny=war? the undemocratic & unjust automatic slow relentless separation of wealth[=power] & work means the highpowered can hire the lowpowered to plunder & die for them, means the injustice will fuel fires of violence [robbers & robbed] - endlessly increasing [as we see in all of history]
