“One of the best things capitalism created was immigration. Taking ignorant, backward people out of their small isolated towns and lives and throwing them onto the world’s stage.”

Vladmir Lenin

Capitalism as an economic system has its basis on trades and ownership of capital throwing people desperately on a search for a spot onto the shining stage of global market. Wherever you may be, capitalism is the global economy – regardless of small countries which lay aside in this dynamic scenario, though – dealing with means to produce wealth and controlling it: the production system.

The Industry Revolution set in motion a chain of events which led Capitalism to what it is nowadays, much more dynamic and global. Aftermath, Globalization stretched its long fingers through the globe, leading people to cross the oceans to work in the multimarket, banks and thousands of others overseas multinationals. Undoubtedly Capitalism has promoted economical and social growth in a way that had never been thought possible. Despite of that, many problems have arisen throughout the years and many thinkers would say that is due to Capitalism system. Some of those problems would be: unfair and inefficient distribution of wealth and power; a tendency toward market monopoly or oligopoly; imperialism and various forms of economic and cultural exploitation; and phenomena such as social alienation, inequality, unemployment, and economic instability. Alienation of entire countries, not only regarding economical, but also social alienation, is the cause to make those people to enter in the world’s stage from the backdoors, reminding the protagonists that the show should include them.

Nowadays, thinkers and experts are contesting the current system, as they say the system is failing, maybe so, for everything has its beginning and fall. Even though, the Capitalism has been inherently in our lives, people are so attached to the system, in a so intrinsically way, that our own personal concepts, our own state of mind, in a single word: the way we perceived the world has been totally ruled by the system, thus a change in this pattern would take a long while to take effect.
