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

zbeckabee

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. http://www.wsu.edu/~dee/GLOSSARY/CAPITAL.HTM Apr 24 06, 7:52 PM
