33 KB, 425x319
The handshake is the most appropriate symbol for capitalism. It represents cooperation, and that's what drives the free market. On the market, individuals trade and barter with each other for their mutual benefit. They also abide by agreed upon contracts, which the handshake typically seals. There's really no better symbol to choose.

Capitalism is what happens when you leave people alone.

So it doesn't need a symbol. It's the default.

>>69149344
Wouldn't bartering economy be the default? Capitalism really didn't exist until relatively recently in the grand scheme of things.
>>
>>69150004
Capitalism didn't exist because people were not allowed to own land unless they were royals.

Once the authorities stopped regulating land ownership so harshly, we got capitalism.

The cornerstone of capitalism has always been and will always be the protection of private property.

Pure capitalism is a barter economy: "Say, will you do X job for Y in trade?"

"No, I'll do X job for Y+A, though."

"Okay."

> <does X job, all of Finland is destroyed.>

"Here's Y+A. Thanks for getting rid of pesky Finland."

>>69150004
Capitalism is bartering made better thanks to a currency.

The core of capitalism, which is free exchanges between voluntary parties and the respect of private property, are also the core of bartering.

The only lasting monopoly is crafted by the hands of government. Without the protection of the law, no industry can remain without competition for more than a very short period immediately following innovation.

Government itself is the ultimate monopoly.

>>69150004
Bartering is the nature state for low-tech levels, because when you get beyond a mostly agriculture society you can no longer effectively trade your work with someone else Directly. Someone working in a factory doesn't come home with a bag full of car parts that he trades with someone else, that would be stupid. Nor is there a standard conversion rate of chickens to trade for a TV.

Capitalism is the next level up from barter, you as a worker are trading your time/effort for an object of pre-determined societal value (money) and then you can trade that with someone else for w/e it is you want/need

Capitalism could be seen as indirect barter.

>Capitalism didn't exist because people were not allowed to own land unless they were royals.
Then why didn't capitalism overtake all of the bartering economies in areas without feudalism or a similar societal system in place?
>>69150397
Pure capitalism is not the same thing as a bartering economy since capitalism assumes a mode of currency. You could say capitalism is a natural evolution of a bartering economy, but it wouldn't make it the default state of things.

bullshit, who was jp morgan, who was rockefeller? those fuckers had monopolies for decades. it was the federal government that destroyed their monopoly.

Once you have a monopoly, you have won. You are the only company that can provide that service in that particular industry.

Capitalism is a therm of marxist theory, so, first, - there are no symbols of capitalism outside of marxism. And inside marxism it`s a poorly made strawman and it has no symbolics.

JP Morgan was a banker who financed many corporations. He was certainly not the only banker and his bank not the only financier of the late 1800s. He is well known for providing the capital needed for many innovations of the late 19th century and for saving the US economy during the Panic of 1907. At no point did JP Morgan have total control over any industry. Even United States Steel Corporation, which he helped organize and finance the formation of through mergers, had competition. US Steel was never actually broken up by the government and competition exists to this day. Being the biggest player in a market does not make a monopoly.

John D Rockefeller was an innovator who found ways to harvest and refine resources which were previously much more expensive to obtain. His efforts not only helped replace whale oil, which had already become too expensive due to whales being driven near extinction, but made the resource widely available for use in other innovations of the late 19th and early 20th century. Rockefeller gained near total control of the industry by doing everything more efficiently than the competition. This included drilling, refining, use of what was considered "waste" material, and distribution. It was the refining business in which he had the most control by virtue of being the most efficient, refining 90% of the world's oil at one point. His near-total control over the industry was already waning before Teddy Roosevelt initiated anti-trust lawsuits against him thanks to international competition. John D Rockefeller innovated and gained near-total control of a single market for a very short period immediately following innovation. No government action was required for this control to diminish over time.

In short, JP Morgan never had a monopoly in anything. John D Rockefeller had a short lived monopoly after innovation.

I would instead ask you, how were JP Morgan's and John D Rockefeller's short-lived high levels of control a bad thing?

Feudalism is a politicall system, not economic. Peasants and commoners were still able to exchange goods freely, as long as they payed taxes to their respective overlords. Feudalism decided who was this overlord.
