Silicon Valley wants to trick us into thinking capitalism is revolutionary
In a world where technical &amp; economic progress are artificially retarded by statist regulation, capitalism <i>is</i> revolutionary. What makes me sad is to think about how much improvement we&#x27;d see if all technologies were as free as software (it also scares me to imagine what civil engineering would be like were it as free as software — obviously not all regulations are bad).<p>Granted, I think it&#x27;s a little twee when folks claim (to use the article&#x27;s example) that they are &#x27;building the restaurant of the future,&#x27; but that&#x27;s harmless enough.
