        I sometimes ask people, “Do you think that in 500 years, capitalism will still govern the world? Is capitalism the last system we will ever see, and is it the single best system humanity as a species could possibly come up with?”

        And they are just dumbfounded and don’t know what to say, because they can’t even imagine the concept of an alternative.

          Well, capitalism has been around for thousands of years so I don’t see why it would simply just disappear in the next 500.
