Somewhat Off Topic:
Of course, Intel does suffer from something approaching competition these days, whereas the only way to compete with Microsoft seems to be with a different kind of "free". Which, in turn, leads to some head-scratching on the conceptual capitalism front.
It's rather funny, with evil monopolists such as MSFT and INTC controlling the PC universe, why do computers keep getting faster, cheaper, and more feature enhanced year after year? It is enough to make you scratch your head. The poor consumer is suffering so much, such injustice. Conceptual capitalism indeed!
Anyway, political philosophy seems to me to be about as distant from operational law, government, and politics these days as, well, maybe, theoretical quantum mechanics is from semiconductor manufacturing.
Don't kid yourself. Philosophy is at the root of law, government and politics. Ignore it or dismiss it as ivory tower theorizing at your own peril.
