Capitalism is complex. It took the West about 4,000 years to develop it. All of history has led to it. One of the way it maintains its composure is it provides a lot of opportunity to careless. In fact it is completely dependent on our carelessness. The longer we don't want to know the longer it will last. Carelessness is its baby. It is the only way capitalism has to prevent history getting beyond it.
