I've been waiting for Mr Rutherford's article. Since commentators ascribed to the Nobel committee the mysterious wisdom of GOD --contradiction of good-- to justify its peace prize selection, in particular, I've been wondering, Why Olstrom shares a prize with Williams? I tentatively concluded, the committee did so to dramatize complementary theories of political economy: on the one hand, a "natural" model of transaction (business) behaviors or what one wishes; on the other, an "artificial" model of transaction (business) behaviors or what one has. Neither theorist is a macroeconomic expert of the "neoclassic" school, typified by Wayne's World ideology of comparative advantage and deducted (and legal) applications of GAAP. Rather they are inductive reasoners. So by "artificial", I mean to modify purposefully transaction behaviors proscribed by laws --normalizing rules of conduct of members of a society, jurisdiction. Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.
I certainly hope she's right and I'm wrong.

Definitely need to read up on this. The march of civilizations is a series of defenses that man has put up against the dread of pure existence.
Every time a voter selects a psychopath to govern, they reduce their chances of "winning." Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.

I was mostly just throwing some things together because the conversation I was having on such matters was so rudely cut off {another place}. And as such I knew the members here would help expand my understanding of the issues. I will definitely read through all the thread to digest some of the concepts I am not familiar with including "reciprocity".
