Smith didn't invent capitalism, he just understood it better than anyone before him had and suggested that it be used to limit the power of absolute monarchs. He couldn't have done this if it wasn't already well-developed by his time.

Well, that's what I was referring to- It's difficult to get a firm date on the "birth" of Capitalism. It's very open to interpretation...Originally Posted by Furious Mental
You could look at it one way and Capitalism would be justified throughout almost the entirety of the campaign. You could look at it another way and Capitalism would barely squeeze itself into the last 30-50 turns. You could look at it even another way and there just wouldn't be any justification for capitalism in the campaign at all.
It definitely would require some research and thought...
