Just a reminder that using money to buy things is not capitalism. Using money to finance someone else's work, and then expecting perpetual rise in the investment value from their ongoing effort is capitalism. Jill makes a tool, I buy the tool ; simple commerce, I don't bother Jill again unless I want to buy another tool. I capitalism Jill, I get nothing now, but I bug her every ~92 days asking for reports on what value I could extract from my capital, and can threaten her if I don't like it.
