The period of mercantile capitalism involved the introduction of commodity fur production and the beginnings of a dependence upon commodities used as the means of subsistence production. The period of monopoly capitalism involved the introduction of wage labour and a fuller dependence upon commodities as the means of subsistence production. The period of state capitalism involved a fuller dependence upon wage labour and a direct dependence upon commodities. The common thread through the diverse periods of Ahtna history is the progressive rise and elaboration of a Native class society. The nature of the national economies, the type of commodity production introduced, and the role of commodities introduced are shown to be crucial in this development.
