C3491 Capital Fangs (1/2)
Interesting to talk about, what is the human world leading at the forefront? It was actually technology, followed by thought!
The era of great geographical discoveries followed by the emergence of advanced European navigation technology, followed by the emergence of the idea of colonization!
There was a series of technology such as a steam engine, then there was the Industrial Revolution, then there was the thought of an industrial civilization, capitalism and so on.
There was no path in this world. The more people who walked on it, the more likely it would become a road. In the Boorish Desolate, humans would always be able to cut through the thistles and thorns, and cross the river while feeling their way through the rocks.
As more people walked in one direction, it gradually became a habit. As for the smart people, they would learn from their mistakes and finally name the path!
This is the road of capitalism, this is the road of feudal autocracy, this is the path of imperialism... And so on and so forth, all the names were actually later people, giving names to what had already appeared.
Why was Xiao Letian so powerful? Actually, the biggest difference between him and the great philosophers of this era was that he wasn't naming or summarizing what he already had.
It was because he could see the right path for himself in the Wilderness or knew exactly how he would develop. This ability did not come from his two lifetimes of being a person, but from his understanding of the laws of society.
Xiao Letian had already changed history, so would the battle still erupt again?
Xiao Letian's answer was yes, a battle would definitely erupt and become even more bloody!
Why? This was because the core cause of the outbreak of war was the release of energy after human productivity expanded to its maximum capacity. All human races had to do a reshuffle!
Extreme productivity growth, let the past capitalism evolve upwards, directly developed into imperialism!
This thing was uncontrollable, unless Xiao Letian had the ability to completely disrupt the process of industrialization on this planet. This was obviously impossible, and even he was unwilling.
So, as long as the industrial power continues to grow, capitalism will surely evolve into imperialism, and the world will be divided up into colonies by the reshuffle, and the world war will surely erupt!
The name might be different, the process and the result might be different, but this battle was unavoidable!
This was where Xiao Letian was amazing, this was also where he was different from the great philosophers of this era. He could find his way, without anyone testing the waters.
This was a godly skill! This was a godly skill that even Big Beard admired. You think that this kind of person would analyze an unsuccessful Jiang-Nan finance battle from the same angle as Xiang Ying?
Xiao Letian saw through the essence with one glance! The merchants who had developed over the years had already tasted the sweetness of playing with capital, and the elites among them had already become capitalists.
They were no longer ordinary merchants. When their money was gathered to a certain extent, they would definitely think of ways to use it to make money. If this kind of person wasn't a capitalist, then what was?
When the Keeper Niu from the Four Seas Group, Niu Jinfu and the other mega-merchant s like him, who were in the Mi family business, gradually realized that the profits they made from their money, had already exceeded the profits they made from their real economy.
Then they, the capitalists, will evolve into financial capitalists again!
That's how the game goes, the financiers do banks, futures, stocks, bonds... In the end, he would choose to control the market in order to make huge profits.
So what is this thought? Monopoly! Wasn't this how monopolistic capitalism came about?
