Gentlemen, I just thought this a worthy topic of discussion. One of my readings for a marketing strategy seminar is this book chapter (which I'll send via email), that compares the evolution of biology and human life to that of economics. Some of it is a little much (i.e. an automobile being born from the womb of the factory), but overall it's pretty interesting. And who would have thought I'd get to rediscover the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle in a marketing course. Anyway, I am skeptical of some of the comparisons myself, especially at the beginning, but others are really interesting. I especially like the section on mutations of supply and demand (carbohydrates are out, so the we don't demand as much wheat production) as well as the dialectical process (would it really matter if the Battle of Hastings had gone the other way?)
Again, please don't feel obligated to read or comment, I just thought it worth putting up here.

Count, did you ever post/send this article?
Brother Lloyd,
Yes, I sent the pdf on February 1st at 11:29am. I first sent a longer article and then found a shorter one that was similar, but they should be there for the reading!
