LONDON According to the Cambridge English Dictionary, an economy is “the system of trade and industry by which the wealth of a country is made and used.” For the last few centuries, this system has been dominated by the paradigm of capitalism, in which the private owners of capital, and not the state, control the trade of goods and services.
The slave trade and plantation economy of the early colonial period in America were among the original manifestations of this economic paradigm, as the European propertied classes asserted their newfound power over dwindling tributary systems and the interim feudal arrangements were replaced with John Locke’s quasi-religious notions of private property, which would come to conquer Western economic theory for the next three hundred years.

Stopping the clock: Can science help us avoid ageing?
16 minutes to read
By: Nicky Pellegrino
Treatments to extend a healthy lifespan are already being trialled, according to a respected biologist with an Oxford PhD and an important new book. by Nicky Pellegrino. The quest for eternal youth is the stuff of sci-fi and legend. For thousands of years, people have been seeking ways to stave off death. China s first emperor, Qin Shi Huang, was famously obsessed with finding an elixir to prolong his life but died in 210BC at age 49, ironically, it appears, after consuming a would-be immortality potion that turned out to be toxic.

Researchers spend billions of dollars every year trying to eradicate these medical scourges.
Yet even if we discover cures to these and all other chronic conditions, it won’t change our ultimate prognosis: death.
“That’s because you haven’t stopped aging,” says Jay Olshansky, PhD, a professor of epidemiology and biostatistics at the University of Illinois at Chicago School of Public Health.
But what if we could? What if we are trying to extend longevity in the wrong way? Instead of focusing on diseases, should we take aim at aging itself?
