I appreciate the intellectual discourse...some great ideas floating around here on Steemit!
"I don't understand where you were going with '...assumptions confuses predicated and demanded outcomes.'" <--Type, sorry! Predicated should be "predicted." What i meant was that if we bundle a set of assumptions into a definition then the predicted outcomes are dependent on what we include in the bundle. Stripping definitions to the simplest form reduces this kind of error.
I didn't mean to imply you were taking a position on either side of the debate; my comment was more an addendum to what you were pointing out...i'm also rather agnostic on a lot of the outcomes of diffusion (globalization), though i tend to skew positive on the economic benefits of specialization and freedom of trade.
What i meant by "forceful disruption" would be something along the lines of a policy to prevent people from doing something, like preventing Starbucks from entering the Italian cafe market bc a policymaker has a bias towards Italian firms; i'd prefer the decision to patronize a business to rest with customers, not to create curated lists of firms allowed to compete in a given market.
Ah, I see thanks for clarifying. The Starbucks example you gave instantly reminded me of a stance Bolivia took regarding McDonalds and other foreign firms not so long ago. Pretty interesting story, if you want to look it up.

Cool, yeah that's exactly the kind of thing i meant...something a policymaker and supporters might favor, but is really just dominance in preference over consumers who might express their own preferences otherwise.
