Early Capitalism
Banking System and Founding of Dynasties
Today we live in a capitalist society.
The economy is based on free competition and private ownership of capital.
In other words: All people are responsible for their own well-being and can become rich if they put in enough effort.
This is impossible or even forbidden in other economic systems.
In communism or socialism, for instance, everything should be owned by everyone, roughly speaking.
In capitalist societies like ours, on the other hand, supply and demand determine the price, and everyone strives to acquire possessions and thus wealth.
But this has not always been the case.

Product Piracy
Counterfeiting takes place in almost all economic sectors – textiles, watches, car parts, machine parts, tools, accessories, software and medicines. Some counterfeits are easy to recognise, others are so well-executed that even experts have difficulty distinguishing between original and imitation. This DVD covers the development of a product from idea to manufacture. Once a product has become a trademark, product pirates appear on the scene.
Air Traffic
Being able to fly has been a dream of humanity from time immemorial. But it does not even date back a century that people actually started being able to travel through the air. Since the 1960s, the number of flight passengers has been constantly increasing. Thus, the airspace is no longer dominated by birds but by man-made flying objects.
