Freedom, Markets, Negotiation, Crowds

Markets, exchanges, auctions, bidding and the purchase choices are probably the best institutional mechanisms that humans will ever devise for the allocation of resources. Market-based management or a management discipline absolutely demands a both a state of humility and a solid set of listening skills [on many different levels to different actors in the marketplace] as well as the flexibility and discipline to be able to respond to change. Markets and earnest intentions to commit of resources via binding bids/offers are probably the most information-dense collaborative activity that humans engage in even though all of the participants are very much acting in accordance with their own self-interest.
