Read the entire thing on my Kindle app for the Android phone.
Had power issues early on but I switched the display mode to have a black background and white text which worked out just fine.

Also reading a book:
Bloom, Howard K (2010). The Genius of the Beast : A Radical Re-vision of Capitalism

Similar theme. How capitalism follows a feed back loop that serves to increase its power.

Anyways, thanks for the recommendation.

I found this on Edge.com. Writers and scientists were asked what the most important equation for the 21st century will be. Here’s a link to Matt Ridley’s answer, a one-page answer:

IMHO, Matt Ridley and F.A. Hayek would be very simpatico. That’s high praise from me. Ridley’s insights on the power of trade are spot on.
