Some thinking is inherent to the societies where capitalist relations or feudal relations or slave/master relations or hunter-gatherer band relations predominate. Short-term thinking, centralization and environmental externalities have been hallmarks of capitalism for centuries. Some things only change when relations of production go from one form to another.
