Around the eighth century bce, markets started to influence daily life with money, private property, and wage labour/mercenaries in Eurasia. At the same time, religions and philosophies of what is called the Axial Age emerged in the different regions/cultures (Daoism and Confucianism in China, Buddhism in India, Zoroastrism in Persia, pre- and post-Socratic philosophies and tragedies in Greece, prophets and Torah in Judah, and Christianity and Islam in later subsequent contexts). All these religions/philosophies responded to the social, psychological, and mental implications and consequences of the market economy. In each of the periods of the capitalist market, there were specific philosophical and religious responses to problems related to political hegemony and justice. Starting in the 1960s, liberation theologies/philosophies have been emerging in Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and Buddhism, using the critical traditions of the Axial Age in order to reject the capitalist market economy and civilization while working for alternatives—in conflict with assimilated religious majorities.
