Is fiction inherently capitalist?

I had never thought about this question before I read this sentence. It will be an awesome essay prompt for students readyto graduate--for them to demonstrate their thinking and writing skills. The writing of fiction. The selling of fiction. The teaching of fiction. Are these inherently capitalistic? My, what a bunch of questions!

Unfortunately, the book review essay that got me thinking about this is bloody awful. I am glad that I never ventured into literary politics, cultural theory, if such crap is what results.
