Capitalism doesn't exist today, unfortunately. It's the system of freedom.

Philosophy? Where do Europeans discuss some philosophy of land ownership? We hear about postmodernism and existentialism and stoicism. But any geologist will tell you that land existed before human beings did. The ownership is just an idea in our heads. Some animals exhibit territoriality but that is based only on individual force. Animals cannot call the police. Governments create zoning laws so why don't we have legal limits on land ownership. Say, no more than 3 parcels totalling no more than 100 acres. But the social psychology of European culture is imperialistic and that is how the economy is designed. Then economists must rationalize it after the fact, claiming that it is natural. Is planned obsolescence natural? Oh sorry, economists can't evaluate technology very well.
