Close and successful united action among a large number of scattered competitors of different scales of importance, such as exist during the earlier stage of capitalism, would be impossible.

Predictably, the financial markets and consumer capitalism, the dominant narratives of our era, were the first to successfully commandeer the renaissance.

This was to be seen as a war against capitalism and a free society.

Meanwhile, free-market capitalism's stalwarts, who had already suffered the collapse of the dot.com bubble and the faith-challenging reality of an economic recession, were also reeling from the attack on their most visible symbol of global trade.

With its dependence on perpetual expansion, the story of global capitalism was not helped by this sure sign of resistance.

Globalism, at least as it is envisioned by the more expansionist advocates of free market capitalism, only exacerbates the most dangerously retrograde strains of xenophobia.

Mistaking the arbitrary and man-made rules of the marketplace for a precondition of the natural universe, corporate capitalism's globalist advocates believe they are liberating the masses from the artificially imposed restrictions of their own forms of religion and government.

Further, the bursting of the dot.com bubble, followed by the revelation of corporate malfeasance and insider trading, exposed corporate capitalism's dependence on myths; stories used to captivate and distract the public while the storytellers ran off with the funds.

War is now a faithful servant of capitalism.

In any case, it goes with capitalism; and if the good old war virtues are to be saved out of the wreck it's the wreckers will save them!

For the middle class the transition to modern capitalism, and for the feudal lords the way to Western imperialism, was easy.

The middle class consisted mainly of traders and bankers, whose aim was the introduction of Western capitalism in association with foreign powers.

Capitalism is nationally fairly well organized, so that there has been all the time more and more agreement among the great lords of finance, not to trespass on one another's preserves.

HACKER, LOUIS M. The triumph of American capitalism.

The more successful colonizing empires of the seventeenth and eighteen centuries became the strongholds of nineteenth century monopoly capitalism.

Up to that point Europe continued to be the homeland of monopoly capitalism.

For half a century United States money and arms were used to stabilize capitalism.
