Contains interesting links, but the article itself is rather poorly reasoned. For example, an individual may not really know exactly what sort of car they want, but contra the authors, that doesn't mean there's not a market in cars.
Mating is very much a market, since pretty much the start of sexual reproduction millions of years ago.
- xkcd-sucks 7y agoYes, if "market" is a fundamental axiom of one's worldview -- But since that sexual reproduction is older and more widespread than trade, one could also say that markets are a form of courtship
- downerending 7y agoTrue enough. I found my wife via OKC, and I think I could have skipped a lot of misery if I had had this insight a lot sooner.
