    Time to break out the ol’ reliable of Marx quotes:

    Economists have a singular method of procedure. There are only two kinds of institutions for them, artificial and natural. The institutions of feudalism are artificial institutions, those of the bourgeoisie are natural institutions. In this, they resemble the theologians, who likewise establish two kinds of religion. Every religion which is not theirs is an invention of men, while their own is an emanation from God.

      Thank you. It's also helpful to point out that capitalism has only been around for a few hundred (400?) years, which is crazy when you consider how long humans have been around. It really took a long time for this expression of human nature to emerge.
