Well, the full term is Development Operations, meaning the branch of Operations concerned with supporting Development. I recoiled from the definition you offered because I've actually witnessed an organization use that as a justificat

Incorrect. Monopolies do not naturally occur in most markets (with a few exceptions). The barriers to entry that create monopolies arise largely from regulatory capture. Some level of regulation is often necessary, but devising regimes t

I'm trying to dig up Magie's alternative rules, which were modeled after preferred Georgist policies. I never tried them myself, but I hear they made for a very long, overly balanced game with highly equitable outcomes. Too bori
