Capitalism and the Brechts
Originally posted 01-19-2007, 02:57 PM
There are economic doctrines better suited to a post Manorial society, like Mercantilism, which was a trade based theory of markets and the accumulation of precious metals.
Guilds are one of the institutions that had to be destroyed to make way for free markets, and capitalist development. Capitalism is based on free entry to a market and competition to determine who pospers and who is eliminated from the market. Guilds control access by law, so that only guild members may practice a trade, and membership is regulated so that existing members do not face direct competition.
Properly the Brecht are Mercantilists not capitalists. Medieval economic theories, based on principles like "just price theory", duties and obligations (just a political theories were), suspicion of commerce, and outright Manorialism are probabaly accurate descriptions of economic theory in Anuire, while Khinasi lands probabaly have a third theory.
