      It is definitely leading us directly to a type of feudalism though. Where power is held by billionaires and corporations instead of local warlords.

      Outside of small city states, capitalism came from merchantislism.

      Specifically, at the intersection where merchantislism and mass dispossession/theft of people’s land meet.

      The only meaningful change is that the assets are now, mostly, intangible and you’re allowed to move to a different parish.
