The battle between Hamilton and Jefferson

Market economies honor balance and equilibrium as embodied in market-clearing prices. 

That the market-clearing price is the result of a highly unstable process of adversarial competition is not something the neo-classical economists are ready to address nor even to admit. The instability of the market-clearing price mechanism comes from the losing adversary’s becoming eliminated from the competitive process. Once the losing adversary is eliminated, the logic of the competitive marketplace breaks down and the price mechanism begins to fail. Plus, it means that often it makes more sense to compete on predation than to compete on price. 

A deeper flaw in the system is the problem that triumph in the marketplace and the elimination of one's competition is seen by the world as a good thing when, in fact, it likely injures the victor more than the vanquished. The arena where a marketplace has wiped out the adversarial corporate life-forms is what we call big business. China is a political/economic order that is more congenial to the interests of big business than America. 

There's a new struggle coming. It's not between capitalism and communism but between big business and small business. The battle between Hamilton and Jefferson has gone global, and it has only just begun.
