[MD] Capitalism

[Ian Glendinning]

OK here goes Platt - though clearly I'm going to regret it ;-)

Natural ? Because they are according to the MoQ - that natural order
of natural processes.

Example ? Natural responsibilty to recognize that our social and
intellectal patterns are supported by existing biological and physical
patterns, so we'd better not allow our socio-intellectual models of
economics undermine or devalue the bio-physical environment.

Example ? Natural responsibilty that the value of intellectual objects
I can count (like capital) are dependent on social patterns in people,
like trust, so I'd better remember to value those patterns too.

Valuing mutual dependencies in patterns that are bigger than me and my
bank account - to paraphrase gav and Mary.

(PS - ref your other mail to Mary - since when was the value of the
dollar "solely controlled by government policy" !?!?! )

Regards
Ian
