As Jason Hickel argues: 'the tendency to equate capitalism with "markets and trade" naturalizes a system that is not natural, and prevents us from having a clear-eyed view of how it operates & how we might want to do things differently'... he then offers a vg three part definition of capitalism: 1. Capitalism is built on enclosure & the construction of scarcity; 2. it requires perpetual expansion (growth); 3. economics decisions cannot be democratic. #capitalism #economics h/t LinkedIn
