    Please don’t conflate markets, products and services with capitalism. That’s yee old liberal con. Capitalism is a modern invention and it’s all about speculation, non-existent liquidity, shell and shelf companies and bringing back usury run amok, what would have people burned at the stake during Jesus times.

      Those things wouldn’t be possible in Jesus’ time because the mechanisms fir them could not exist without more modern forms of communication and transport.
