*Ask Prof Wolff: Transitions Between Economic Systems*
/Democracy At Work/
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75nqHVDqLkc&ab_channel=DemocracyAtWork>

"A Patron of Economic Update asks: "You often mention the fact that
capitalism had largely the time to experiment by trial and error until it
finally succeeded in replacing the feudal system. The purpose is to
substantiate that assertion that is often used in your monologues and
discussions with the fan club of capitalism. Can you bring up those
examples? Can you point to the early failures and successes to illustrate
the trial and error process? Are there books with those examples shown
systematically?"

This is Professor Richard Wolff's video response."

~~~
Transitions from one socioeconomic system to another just don't happen
from one day to another. Even bloody revolutions can't really speed up
that process as the history of the 20th century has clearly demonstrated.
In another way to put it: Good things take their time.
