Re: Imperial Rome, Persia or China???

The presence of money, economic classes, and a political state all go a long way towards describing what you call "kapitalism" (I still don't understand why you use the "k"). I'm not saying that a political state is ONLY present under capitalism, but it's certainly one of its features. A small ruling class who receives the lion's share of the wealth from a far larger working class, and who direct the workers to produce goods solely for the personal profit of the ruling class, is a main feature of kapitalism (now you got me using the "k").
