Arun, I don't see how you can call it capitalism when a government issues edicts and enforces a state-backed monopoly: <States-General of the Netherlands granted it a 21-year monopoly to carry out colonial activities in Asia.>

Capitalism is about privately owned property and free will voluntary exchange of value among consenting adults.

Privately owned property means property produced or purchased by the possessors of the property, not property stolen from somebody and given to somebody else.
