Capitalism and extreme poverty: A global analysis of real wages, human
The standard public-facing narrative about global extreme poverty (defined as the inability to access essential goods such as food) holds that widespread absolute destitution is the natural condition of humanity, and that the rise of capitalism delivered a steady and dramatic reduction in global poverty over time (e.g., Kristof, 2019, Pinker, 2018, Radelet, 2015, Rosling et al., 2018, Sachs ...

History of Capitalism Research Paper
Capitalism is the exchange—for private gain and at market-set prices—of labor, land, and goods. Capitalism is seen in all periods of history, in both the East and West, but was limited by large subsistence and religious/state sectors for most of history, and by communist regimes, with state control of the economy, in the past century.
