"Yes, of course enormous profits were made from both slavery and empire, but neither "created" capitalism... if capitalism is dependent on the sort of mass-scale exploitation implicit in slavery and imperialism, why did capitalism take so long to materialize? The ancient Chinese, Persians, Romans and Aztecs all had empires and slaves, yet none were capitalist."-Jonah Goldberg, Suicide of the West: How the Rebirth of Tribalism, Populism, Nationalism, and Identity Politics is Destroying American Democracy
