In this paper, I will address Deleuze and Guattari's consideration of capitalism's aborted birth in China by approaching the problematic from within their philosophy of history. To begin with, I will set out Deleuze and Guattari's immediate answer, canvassing their machinic ontology and the significance that they place on immanence to the emergence of capitalism. In doing so, the question of history and historical interpretation will be raised. Following, I will investigate the status of such questions and inquire as to why Deleuze and Guattari continually pose them. From this analysis I will suggest that a critical philosophy of non-events can be found in Deleuze and Guattari's work that is related to but distinct from their philosophy of the Event.
