<<Ah, Jim, it is good to have you back. :-)>>
Good to be had. But...
When confronted with numerous irrefutable examples of intelligent design in
our economy, e.g. limited liability, etc., you hearken back to the Romans, of
all peoples.
What corporations did they have again? Chariots R Us?
But even on this ballfield, you're cooked. You write:
<<The Romans almost exclusively used silver for trade using up to 800,000
pounds stearling each year according to Gibbon, Decline and Fall, Great Books,
vol. 40, p. 23. This required some sort of Banking system for them.>>
And I guess they woke up one day and this banking system had mysteriously
developed, with no design whatsoever! Ah, those Romans. Not very intelligent
anyway.
