A hunter-gatherer in the organizational environment

The economies of scale that favor large corporations come with diseconomies for many of the people who work within them. It's kind of like agriculture that way.

But large corporations are not closed systems. The customers of the large corporations get the benefit in lower prices (though not without hidden costs).

The people who win out are the economic hunter-gatherers who live on the fringes of the Large. People like me. We get the benefit of economies of scale without paying our share of the price. Sorry about that.
