** DS9 was the first series to really develop the Ferengi, and did so by taking them out of the "pure fantasy" realm of Star Trek where societies actually could be purely one dynamic (such as the fantasy that the Federation was a "pure and proper" communist utopia). The Ferengi aren't pure capitalists because such a thing is effectively unable to really exist... humans, and therefore by our judging sentient beings with society, want some form of order and structure, and will eventually create these. Thus the Ferengi have created a sort of mish-mash of capitalism and statism where everyone's highly capitalism-focused but it's effectively impossible to produce anything or have a business without going through the government. |
