Capitalism brooks no competition. You won’t find another economic system to study that isn’t markedly worse.
Look into what the Blackfoot Indians were doing. Their lifestyle inspired Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs — though he gets it pretty wrong IMO.
But here’s the thing: the Blackfoot didn’t really have an economic system divorced from other systems. It was all part of a whole that valued people and made sure everyone had what they needed.
Now here’s the kicker: Its my belief their society was based on spreading abundance. Whereas Capitalism is based on spreading scarcity.
You asked for a thing to research. So go do that and report back. Maybe it’s bullshit. Maybe you’ll do some research, be inspired, and change the whole world.
I dunno. I’m not an economist… have you asked an economist?
Edited to add: hey I found a use for AI; here’s a prompt for your favorite model:
“What economic systems have humans devised over the course of recorded history?”
You implied in your first comment that being against capitalism didn't mean being in favor or socialism, but it is because they're the only modern economic systems.
So, I guess I can keep going without changing my mind.
I found more economic systems I wasn’t aware of using the prompt I provided. I can copy paste the results in here but I personally find that insulting and don’t wish to. But I get the feeling you didn’t use it.
