6000 years ago, one could have ownership over the right to buy a still unborn goat at a certain price in the future. It's amusing to see these modern philosophies of trying to go back to a noble savage past that never was.

Likewise it's fascinating to me to see today an assumed, "expansion of property and its financialization are natural progressions of human societies." This factoid is itself baked into the fabric of our current society and presents itself as assumed knowledge. In reality no such natural progression exists any more than people believe that the universe is just, or that nature is cruel.
