"'So you think that money is the root of all evil?' said Francisco d’Anconia. 'Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can’t exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value [...] To trade by means of money is the code of the men of good will. Money rests on the axiom that every man is the owner of his mind and his effort.'" - Rand, Atlas Shrugged p. 411

Your remarks on the individual as a community across time remined me of this statement by Kenneth Mills, which has guided and inspired me across many years.

"A spiritually endowed corporation is one that is enlightened, and can appear as a man. So, a man that is enlightened is a living Corporation, incorpo­rating all the venues that are essential to the fulfillment of an Ideal that is vitalized and "dynamitized" by the relinquishment of a false standard of operation. and the acceptance of the true Standard of Liberty."

So grateful for these essays, you embody this spirit, thank you thank you thank you!

I have started to think that Austrian economics and libertarianism is very inadequate to accurately describe or explain digital economy. I have found that distributism is the most precise description of the political economy of digital media. Check out Hillaire Belloc's Essay on The Restoration of Property.
