      Personally, I think that if small business capitalism actually existed then it would run contrary to that.

      There would be no need for copyright or patents. These systems create artificial scarcity which hinders society as a whole to benefit a minority.

      I feel like our existing system of laissez-faire capitalism fully embraces the rent seeking found in intellectual property.
