This is an EXTREMELY interesting observation, since most people think "market" and think "corporations," when the corporation is a fairly new thing -- at least, when it wasn't blessed by the govt (e.g. East India Trading 'Company').

It's simple to take it for granted that it's natural, when instead, it's about as natural as bamboo entrained to grow in loops. Made of natural stuff... yes. In natural form... no.

I KNEW all those individual facts, but you know, I never put it together until you put it just so.

What have you been reading that shaped your views/thinking? I'd like to check it out.
