This contains some random and often questionable opinions regarding market economy. That the source you quote is 145 years old (sic) only shows that that is misses that many years of both econimic research and economic experience... There are many things you could validly critizise regarding today's market economy - but this requires a real understanding of today's ecomnomy instead of trying to adapt some 19th century opinions to today's economy (that the profit of a corporation would "accumulate ... in the hands of few CEOs and top management" is just an example that you don't even seem to understand where the profits are going to). Regarding the closed-source business model: What you propose (price should reflect only the production costs) works perfectly with a closed-source business model. > hope this is appropriate for this email group.
