      The United States, mostly. For the modern version.

      Middle East, especially Cairo, for the version that current day capitalism developed from.

          History book. Look for Cairo in the middle ages. Or read about the journey of Mansa Musa. That might hopefully give you an idea that gaining capital isn’t a unique or European idea.

          Perhaps also read about the invention of paper money, and the trade of Chinese merchants.

            which history book, specifically? Why are you so confident you know anything about what you’re talking about?
