"It can be a shock to find out capitalism has not always existed.
Economists present 'the market' as the natural state of humanity... When
you realize that capitalism, once did not exist---either as an economy
or a value system---a more shocking thought arises: it might not last
for ever. If so, we have to get our heads around the concept of
transitions, asking: what constitutes an economic system and how does
one give way to another?"
