Apply That Too

Mark Eby — 2/13/2005 6:05:20 PM (archived)

Centralized wealth is very often a problem. You constantly seem to be in denial of the fact that the principle of competition and survival of the fittest often leads to one survivor and the end of competition. Economies thrive in the competition phase and stagnate or decline in the monopoly phase.

Mark
