It's intersting, Bill's thesis that capitalism was "designed". I think of the word capitalism more as a description of how things work in some societies, rather than something designed, like the jet engine or the Spinning Jenny. I think someone deserves a plaque on the wall somewhere: it's totally repellent, but it's certainly worked, is self-regenerating, capable of reacting to chaging circumstances...a remarkable piece of design. So who did head up the design committee?
