Human Evolution Is Right on Schedule
Modern capitalism, the current and penultimate stage of class society under which we all live, is not an evolutionary aberration, failed experiment, or disastrous blunder. Humanity is not derailed and the world is not going horribly wrong. Actually, a close examination of the past and present indicates that the human trajectory is exactly on course, albeit on a very bumpy road.
In fact, events are converging so appropriately and on schedule, it seems at times as if unseen hands were conducting a Wagnerian opera.
Class society refers to any culture in which material wealth is shared unequally. In class society, some members have more wealth, power, and privileges than the rest. Most forms of class society are associated with the existence of a vigilant oligarchy that exercises authority over a toiling majority who produce the wealth through their daily labor.
Capitalism is a five hundred-year-old system of economic organization in which private wealth is concentrated in currency – as opposed to land, slaves, food stores, or tulips. Currency- AKA investment capital - has the huge advantage of being easily converted into new and useful technologies, enterprises, and products.
