Geography is an insufficient answer. I didn't realize there was confusion or speculation, possibly even on the part of raganwald, over why most economic activity is useless: obviously capitalism doesn't primarily select for usefulness. The fact that somebody could read raganwald's "Why The Fuck?" post and think there was some answer other than "capitalism" is beyond me.
