Global Political Economy: Continuation of a circular discussion

Wait a second.

So the difference between a 'natural' and an 'unnatural' monopoly is that an unnatural one is openly elevated to its position by the state in a direct political act, whereas the natural one got there via such natural competitive acts as stealing from competitors, bribing politicians, generally breaking the law and getting away with it, and otherwise receiving political support that just isn't as well publicized? So the only real difference between 'natural' and 'unnatural' is how secret the politicians involved would like to keep their support.

Fuck that. Why draw the distinction at all? You're only helping cover somebody else's ass.

Global Political Economy. Next time, I'll start the argument in class.

This should be fun.
