Capital also doesn't need a passport and visa to cross borders.

Capital also doesn't need, I dont know: basic human social needs like a stable group of friends, family, loved ones and community opposed to living a nomadic drifter chasing money/jobs instead of wild game like hunter gathering civilizations.

Very strange point - many people cross borders alone and start anew.

Good luck crossing without documents

Your point is taken, but hunter/gathering civilizations tended to be very stable groups of friends, family, loved ones and community. The entire group was nomadic.

That's not the case in countries that have capital controls. Some of the biggest economies today do.

Try owning US stocks without being subject to US regulations in a foreign brokerage account.

For the overwhelming majority of businesses in the world, compliance with US law (To the extent required of them by the US) is vastly easier than it for the overwhelming majority of humans in the world to get a US passport.

There is, however, a very loud minority of people whose business revolves around actively violating US financial laws, who run into problems when they provide their services to the US market.
