This can be clearly observed through an examination of the modernism of capitalism. .
Capitalism, by definition, refers to a system organized around common ideas which generate progressive success and economic and thus, social growth. Researchers have established that in reality, capitalism is not this definite as it embodies enantiodromia. In view of this, the modernism of capitalism is strongly influenced by the values and motivation of the people involved in the process. Accordingly, capitalist, being the individuals with the means, are directly involved in the organization of modernism. The development of the globe as a geo-political tool, for instance, encouraged innovative practices that result in greater profits for capitalist. This demonstrates that the production, consumption and global interaction of modernism, are organized through the incorporation of the ideal abstractions of capitalism. For the purpose of this essay, the discovery of the Tijger, at the base of the World Trade Centre, can be seen as influencing the processes of capitalist modernism in America. .
The Tijger is a historical ship that symbolizes the early modernism of global capitalism in North America. It was one of the first merchant ships sent to purchase furs for Van Tweenhuysen Company of Amsterdam (Hallowell, 1974). This expedition later encouraged the development of Fort Nassau on "Castle Island", which became the focal point for the North American fur trade in the Northeast (Duncan Crary Communications, 2009). .
The discovery of this ship, at the base of the World trade Centre, literally exhibits how the modernism of capitalism has progressed from the early 1600's until today. Essentially, from fur trading using ships to cross borders for commerce, to corporate-based globalization using information technology within giant concrete buildings, what is apparent, is the increasing scale of complexity capitalism has achieved over time through modernism.
