    Now then.. Coming back to … Space mining Asteroids.. I was complaining that prices would plummet due to saturation of the market with a commodity.. -Platinum or Gold or Silver or Element ‘X’ (who knows…:))
    Looks like someone was listneing – I’m not an economist.. but I still dont like Rand Corporation…
    Their latest economic journal’ came out recently.. so I went and had a look..

    AS I said.. I’m not an economist.. But I get the idea.. that this can be transfered from denying entry of a ‘player’ into a market to denying entry of a ‘commodity’ into a market (by restricting and controlling pricing…)

      (lets face it.. if anyone is going to control the Space Economy.. Its going to the the Air Force.. err Rand Corporation…Anyone on their board of directors has written a “How to win Nuclear War” Paper…)

        thinking Herman Kahn… (Mr Hydrogen Bomb.) who joined RAND at the same time as his close friend..Samuel “Neutrino Bomb” Cohen.. Just the people you want discussing ECONOMIC policies in the MILITARY.. sorry .. privately owned and no governement oversight committees.. RAND Corporation….

        (ps I think that they are dead now.. not sure.. I need to go check up wiki..) but these are the type of people on the board of directors at this company..)

        This dream (or nightmare) of being able to retire into an Elysium-like Raumfestung (Space Fortress) is probably not actually feasible, since it neglects the quantum consiousness aspect of the rest of humanity (and of other species…). Of course in the meantime all sorts of market manipulations will be on the cards.
