Of Surpluses and Survival In a broad sense, life is capitalism: having a surplus that can be invested forward to make life better is what has created life on earth, human beings, human communities and human civilization. Until there was a surplus beyond what was needed for mere survival there could be no progress, no moving out to new fields or forests, no risking today's rations for a bigger harvest tomorrow.

Until there was a surplus beyond what was needed for mere survival there could be no progress, no moving out to new fields or forests, no risking today's rations for a bigger harvest tomorrow.
