    Liberalism is european in origin, as Capitalism first truly took hold there. It isn’t the “modern divide” but the notion of Liberalism as a progressive motion or regressive motion.

      Capitalism was first instituted by the first Liberal nation- the USA. Europe was mostly mercantilist

          And Europe was mired in mercantilist systems. The government gave business permission to exist in many cases.

          America was the first to institute capitalism, Europeans cane up with the philosophy but America put it into practice.
