The Lost Inheritance, Chapter 09: Contents

001	Community-Based Markets: The Labourer is Free But Dispossessed
	Advancing technology reduces the labour required on an estate. In consequence, most labourers are jettisoned into regional labour pools without land or means.
002	Event Horizon of History
	An historic analogy of the physical event horizon of relativity theory. What an observer sees as he looks outwards — and hence backwards — into the mists of time.
003	Idyllic State: An Agrarian Socio-Economy of Nomads and Farmers
	An idyllic society is inherently unstable and hence transitory: not through any systemic flaw, but because of the excessive self-seekingness of an exigent few.
004	Legal Infrastructure: For Whom is it Necessary? Whom Does it Benefit?
	A formal legal infrastructure is needed only by regimes that use law as the means to facilitate the containment & exploitation of those ruled by those who rule.
005	Middleman: An Absorptive Barrier Between Producer and Consumer
	Expanding markets threw artisans into competition. Out of the fray emerged an economic class, whom serendipity made rich upon the labours of their former peers.
006	Noble Capitalist Had The Means To Bring About The Global Market
	With his private means, the noble estate-owner has lots of time and money to venture into the world to establish a global market, which only he can capitalise.
007	Noble Estate: A Socio-Economy Maintained by an Oppressive Hierarchy
	The settler fences land thus depriving the wanderer of hunting ground. This triggers conflict in which wanderer eventually dispossesses and subjugates settler.
008	Theft: A Notion Far From Being The Moral Absolute That Most Suppose
	The wanderer's view that what is 'just there' is rightly for the taking is manifest in the modern world, particularly with regard to intellectual property.
