The society we have is the result of following their instructions. If your government says that your economic system must be capitalism, then capitalism it is. If it says that it must be Fascism or Communism, then Fascism or Communism it is. The kind of society and economy we have is always the result of government rule. Governments force us to use their economic system, but whatever the system they choose, it always involves the way wealth is created and distributed.
Governments interfere with and control the economy in many ways, and they are also a part of it.
Therefore, we must understand how governments control the economy and why they do it. Therefore, if we are to eliminate these social evils we must understand our present society that produces them. If we are to dismantle our present society and replace it with a better one, we must first understand its nature and the reason it produces so much poverty and violence. There is no other social pattern for us to study because the states cover the world.
