Hey, this guy sounds like me!
From an article by Hernando DeSoto:
Like the entropic universe and all open spaces, the global market is a turbulent place with little respect for life. All living systems, whether natural or organized by man, originate and operate only in encapsulated spaces. Whether we are talking about cells, molecules, body organs, computers, or social groups, each and every one is contained and constrained within a boundary: a membrane, an epidermis, a wall, or a legal right. Within the boundaries of our bodies, complex multi-cellular structures are sustained by the production of molecules that ensure cooperation and the exchange of information among cells – a process known as “signaling.” Impairments in this process can lead to the onset of disorders such as cancer. If detached from other cells or the surrounding matrix, cells usually die within a short time, a process called “anoikis,” Greek for homelessness. Whoever ends “anoikis” in the greater Middle East will win the war on terror. That is why the West and its allies must help the 80% of the population whose survival depends on the boundaries needed to protect them and their assets (property rights and limited liability). They need the signaling mechanisms to detect danger (records and tracking systems that come from recording assets and firms). They need the adhesion molecules to connect with others and build increasingly complex and valuable combinations (legally enforceable contracts). And they need the ability to use assets to guarantee credit and create capital (shares and stock to divide, extend, and collateralize property). Otherwise, the combined military forces of Europe and the United States – and now Russia – will win nothing.Sounds like me. I don't think boundaries and property are the FIRST concern in that part of the world, though. The FIRST thing is that WE MUST STOP BEING EBOLA. We need to stop invading their tissues over and over and over again and destroying everything including cell walls. DeSoto throws Russia into the same category, which is wrong. At least in Syria, Russia is the DISINFECTANT. It's fighting to kill OUR viruses and bacteria, and to restore the command of the proper government. Private property IS the first concern in DeSoto's South America stomping grounds.
