capitalism hasn't been a dominant mode of production for very long at all. if you think about it, it's only been over the past 50 years or so that agricultural production has been assimilated into that form.
elements that were built upon by capitalism have been around for much longer, but that doesn't make them capitalist.
the unification of capitalism as a mode of production in marx is linked as much to the political project as to a descriptive analysis.
and i don't see the op as making the argument that it sets out to make.
and i think i've seen all this before...
