The presence or absence of markets is about as objective a thing as you can get
>Without capital markets still exist.
Goods markets, yes but not the point.
>Inventory is still counted. Contributions are still noted.
But you can't easily compare contributions when they are in terms of different goods, and there's no reason planners should necessarily care about contributions in order to make them as high as possible.
>It's just people aren't left to starve nor beaten down simply because they aren't born rich.
Is this what happens in all, or even a high number of societies containing capital markets?
