CAPITALISM: EP. 2
As a Political Philosophy Capitalism contains a theory of the individual that includes the idea of natural rights - most importantly the right to private property. However, in practice, what this amounts to is the inalienable right to sell yourself into the marketplace, an opportunity resisted by people for centuries. It is the double step of creating a private space, and then creating an idea of people and citizenship that forces people to fill that space that shapes the Capitalist world today.
