CearesMods, your argument is based on several fallacies. Few of us believe that Darwinism has anything to do with economic practices. Proponents of social Darwinism are eugenicists; applying it to the free market was a misapplication by detractors. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Darwinism#Origin_of_the_term . Monopoly is enforced by power and not by money, power that can't be applied within an actual free market and is applied by governments interfering in trade. Economic growth is not at all cost; otherwise, none of us would be using electronic devices and discussing whether we should pay modders instead of whether we will have food or not.
