But many of the criticisms of this article (that the fish end up being provided by a few big trawlers, that don't employ many people) are actually signs of economic efficiency. The most fish are being provided at the least cost. Yes, that ends up with very few people having fishing jobs, but it's great for consumers!

P.S. I have to go, to finish a global warming web page, for a class of mine. I'll be back tomorrow or Wednesday.
P.P.S. Many of the criticisms in this article remind me of a U.S. economist who was in China. He saw people digging ditches with shovels, and said, "Geez, with a backhoe you could do this a lot faster." The Chinese guys said, "Yes, but that would leave a lot of people unemployed." The economist responded, "Oh, well...if you're trying to get the maximum possible number of people employed, why don't you give them spoons?" :-)
