    Ok, haha. I said ‘no offense’ so…
    I actually meant to write more but I got a call.
    It’s just that while there’s plenty wrong with capitalism, this post doesn’t really hit the mark. In the context of a Neanderthal, most innovation would require very little investment of resources, and even larger projects which might require community involvement would be organized through examples, trust and like mindedness, or tribal dominance. Only once much larger and complex innovative projects needing regulated investment of some sort are considered, does capitalism even make sense. And then it makes sense for the same reasons that early capitalism can contribute a lot to growth and wellbeing.
