I watched the fall of the Berlin wall and the prediction of the fall of communism. I thought that this observation might end up as the high point of Western European and US capitalism. Why did I think this?
I remember reading an article about the battle of Agincourt which pointed out that this battle was the first documented occasion where someone was killed by a gun. The point of this observation is that Agincourt is considered to be the high point of the use of the longbow.
So, the high point of the longbow also pointed the way to its eventual successor. So it would seem with the Western world's system of capitalism.
