Pre-capitalist economies resisted change while capitalism makes change constitutive

Evidence

According to Marx, it is the core principle of all modernization processes. It is also a historically new form of social acceleration because all older socioeconomic formations tend to lay down and naturalize relations of production once they are established, statically preserving them from change for as long as possible, in contrast to capitalism, for which the primacy of change over inertia is constitutive. — Hartmut Rosa, Social Acceleration, 190
