    I think you could argue that capitalism even entered the human world before even currency was a thing.

    I’d love to see your citations and reasoning on this, assuming it doesn’t fall into “capitalism is when anyone owns anything or sells anything”

    Because this

    In most civilizations wealth tends to accumulate at the top of the societal pyramid, which is capitalism. The pharaohs and sumerian kings alike are capitalists

    Is ridiculous.
