The birth of capitalism was near the end of the bubonic plague. The unexpected loss in the supply of 'labor' left the nobility with a shortage of labor, giving labor the opportunity to negotiate for their ongoing time and service.

The prior century (1901-2000 for those who went to public skuuwel) brought the belief that giving one's time to a company would bring security in his later years.... followed by the belief that giving one's money to the gummit would bring security in the later years.

I would put my 'beliefs' in the individual before I'd believe the other two; BUT it will take a de-programming of the common man that neither business nor gummit will condone because it would show them as powerless.
