Abstract assumption I operate under: Things such as markets, legal systems and political organizations are simply human inventions. They are all tools that serve a purpose. They are akin to say hammers, screwdrivers, iPhones and deodorant. There are those that would have you believe that such things fall from the sky fully formed and that they do what they do because they are obeying some sort of sacrosanct natural order. People making these arguments tend to have their interests tied to how those systems are currently behaving. They also tend to create their own language and use it to create ambiguity for what is going on. But they are human inventions and can and should be changed, modified, and adapted to better fit changing fitness landscapes for the greater good, the same way other human tools are. Of course, there will be various amounts of friction in seeking those changes, especially true with things that involve money and power, but the first mistake is not seeing such things as human inventions in the first place and thus malleable by their very nature.
