Yeah. I get it. But the whole of our corporate legal structures are basically built on limiting/allocating risk. It has laid the foundation of the sort of risk taking and entrepreneurial spirt that has made this back water island into a global player, and pretty much allowed all of us to be born into a privileged position globally.

So you know. Swings and roundabouts.

I think we were invading other places, pillaging their resources and forcing them to buy the resulting produce back from us some time before that.

I was about to write the same - it was wars of aggression and colonialism that made this backwater island into a rich backwater island.
