But ok. AFAICS the bourgeois revolution largely grew
in the US which
formerly belonged to the periphery. However, germ
forms of the
bourgeois revolution also flourished in Britain for
instance.
France and Britain were not the top feudal countries,
these were Spain and Portugal, so they also were the
periphery of their time
But that is true also for rich capitalists: If they
can save a Euro
because of using Free Digitized Goods they tend to
use it. (May be I'm
pre-occupied by my employer where license costs are
regularly an
argument to employ Free Software ;-) ).
Agreed. But those winning in an old model have
generally less incentive than the new marginal or
emerging players
