Hahaha that's true I guess, at some point I started noticing how much fiction that takes place in the past basically has capitalism but dressed as feudalism
RPGs and fantasy video games are a frequent offender in this. Every village and outpost has a fully functioning commodity market, complete with globally equalised prices and stable currency, neatly divisible by 100 for copper/silver/gold.
