lol @ that definition of mercantilism. you definitely need to get some knowledge. Ever heard of the Fugger family? As long as money was involved, capitalism was there. Industrial revolution etc. represent just the peak of that development. > >>Just because it got its name in the 18th century >>doesn't mean that it didn't exist before. btw why is >>capitalism a Latin word? >>Cuz it sounds better? nope. >> > >Great argument, Einstein.

lol again. That's the difference. Greek roots vs. Latin origin. The word "Capitalism" wasn't invented in the 18th century. You probably do not even know what "caput, capitis" or "capitalis, e" mean, but that's a different topic.

Please get some REAL knowledge. Your arguments are hilarious. Moreover your knowledge of the Middle Ages is limited to some basic knowledge which isn't even worth paying attention to.
