I forgot to include this graph to show the economies of scale which have gained ground over 2000 years and especially in the last 100. en.wikipedia.org Note also that those people from 100 and 1000 years ago are not fungible with those today because there has been rapid selection for intelligence. Evidence is the Flynn Effect. Plus, it's pretty obvious anyway. So there are 6 times as many people as 100 years ago and they are over a standard deviation more intelligent. AND there are far fewer living subsistence lives. And cyberspace enables those who are thinking to get vast amounts of information. And all sorts of other improvements. Mqurice

MQ, Cocoa Man is not trading patents. He is trading cocoa beans. Pigs, cows and corn are "developed " by normal people. Patents you need a huge and costly infrastrcuture strcitly controlled with high barriers of entry. Working in a clean environment, full of glamour, has a strong attraction for people who aim for a diploma as a passport for the elite. Now ask how many are willing to work their butt of to make a living? Man being lazy by his own nature, would always prefer the high-tech rather than go to the field and of real work. And I know that you know what real work is about. See the posting of Arun about India's civil engineers tranvested into porgrammers. The Singer–Prebisch thesis started everything and put LATAM on the wrong track. en.wikipedia.org
