### Jack, acknowledg the simple fact - price is the measure of
efficiency. Learn the basics of economy before you start arguing.

Price is only ONE measure of economic efficiency. And, even then it may be 
measured on widely variant scales.
There are also definitions of efficiency which are not economic. You 
continue to make the assumption that what is good and profitable - and 
therefore efficient - for big business is also good, profitable and 
efficient for the whole country. THIS is assumption I am challenging and the 
idea I have repeatedly asked you to address - you have not done so.

Your parroting of platitudes like 'price is the measure of efficiency' only 
reinforces my conviction that you you cannot offer a shred of hard evidence 
to support what is actually NOT a reasoned point of view at all - It's just 
your own blind belief.
