----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- Regarding Robin Neill's definitions: The first two definitions seem clear enough to obtain widespead agreement in their application in discussion. Unfortunately, the last three are riddled with ambiguous terms and I don't think will be very helpful. E.G.: What's a "social value?" To who does it "dictate?" What does it mean to say that someone "cannot afford" something? What's a "strict market term?" What's the meaning of "efficiency?" What does it mean to "supply publicly?" How does one identify "an inefficient result" in a market system? Sam Bostaph ------------ FOOTER TO HES POSTING ------------ For information, send the message "info HES" to [log in to unmask]
