I studied the history of Mathematics. When I realized that all of mathematics can be reduces to logic, I then engaged in a detailed study of the history of mathematics.
I decided one day to also research the history of Conservatism and Capitalism.
I was really astonished by what I found. But it makes sense after reading Machiavelli and Hegel.
The father of Capitalism is .... are you ready .... Karl Marx.
Marx realized that the best way to win a war is to define the battleground. Marx wanted to raise people in a revolution. So, the way to accomplish the task is to define the position of the opposition.
Mark wrote a three volume tome called Das Kapital.
Conservatives, being a bunch of half witted fools, took to defending Marx's definition of capitalism.
The fact that Marx defined capitalism explains why both capitalism and anti-capitalism leads society to ruin.
You can prove that Marx is the father of capitalism by tracing the citations and ngrams related to capitalism.
