    Why did capitalism come first to Europe and not to Asia?

    Question #64990. Asked by author. (Apr 24 06 5:46 PM)

    Capitalism is a difficult, problematic term; it applies to a diversity of phenomenon spread across disparate historical cultures with substantially variable world views. However, the term is an Enlightenment European term used to describe European practices; so the term "capitalism" means more than just a body of social practices easily applied across geographical and historical distances, it is also a "way of thinking," and as a way of thinking does not necessarily apply to earlier European origins of capitalism or to capitalism as practiced in other cultures.

    I suppose according to Marx it would be because we (Europe)had already gone through more of his stages.
