That's right. The early Ferengi, not these housebroken space schlemiels fron Deep Space Nine.
I wonder what the worst of both worlds would look like. Microsoft? Gibson's zaibatsu?

Cute. But the Ferengi are Hollywood's twisted vision of Capitalism carried to an "extreme". But then Capitalism cannot be carried to an extreme as there is no such thing as "too much" freedom or "obscene profits". The Ferengi are guilty of avarice and do not exhibit the "trader's philosophy" but more Marx's view (skewed to be sure) of the "trader's philosophy".
