1. CAPITALISM
From the Washington State University website
18th Century. 1776 was the year that Adam Smith’s ‘Wealth of Nations’ was published – an economic blueprint for what we now call capitalism. But it has its origins way back in the ‘mercantilism’ of ancient times.

2. CORPORATISM
(from Wikipedia)

19th Century. 1891 was the year the Pope proposed corporatism. This doesn’t refer to corporations as we understand them today. However it does mean the state uses officially-recognized organizations as a tool for restricting public participation in the political process and limiting the power of civil society.
