Dear Joacim,

Have you ever considered that the only reason you can
peasant away, while your friend merrily saws, is
because of the Government?

In a capitalist free market system, economies of scale
make large operations more efficient then small ones.
this is not an opinion, it is a tested fact, supported
by the existance of multinationals with balance sheets
larger then certain countries budgets.

Without the government impeding big business in some
way, protecting you in some way, you farm and your
friend's sawmill and all the mom and pop shops and
little barter system utopias would be swallowed up by
bigger businesses. This will happen due to the free
market which awards efficiency in use of capital above
all. You will be swatted down by the invisible hand.

And no I am not saying Government is good, rather that
being ruled by politicians or an invisible hand. ain't
no real difference.
 
Cheers and Regards.

Ali
