> Vermeulen says the idea of Darwinian economic competition is wrong. Even Darwin wouldnt buy it.

Actually, V doesn't. Instead, he shows that what's wrong is the notion that economic survival/success is simple. Instead, it's complicated - fitness functions are unknown, context sensitive, and variable, just like life. And, whenever organisms interact, so do their fitness functions.

The only people who don't understand that are the ones thinking that they can buy silver bullets.
