"市場は資本主義の発明ではありません。何世紀にもわたって存在してきました。それは文明の発明です。"
— Mikhail Gorbachev
Simplified Meaning:
Markets have been around long before modern capitalism. People trading goods and services isn't new; it's something humans have done for a very long time. Think about ancient farmers who exchanged crops with each other, or merchants in old villages trading spices and fabrics. These markets helped early societies grow and connect with one another. Today’s more complex markets evolved from these simple beginnings. Understanding this helps us see that trading and exchanging are natural human activities, not something created by recent economic systems. Recognizing this can help us appreciate how natural and important trade is in bringing people together and fostering progress.
