    So there was no scarcity before the invention of capitalism? Not of any single thing?

    Had capitalism never been instituted broadly, no person would want anything they didn’t have?

    uh huh.

        This opinion is unsustainable, and I don’t know how you acquired it.

        Remember that your point is that people would not be susceptible to bribery without capitalism. You think you couldn’t bribe someone with a bunch of cows in the first century? You think no-one had a lack of entertainment they could be bribed with?
