IT-Treuhand, Prinzip der freien Zusammenarbeit
"Adam Smith's key insight was that both parties to an exchange can benefit and that, so long as cooperation is strictly voluntary, no exchange will take place unless both parties do benefit.
No external force, no coercion, no violation of freedom is necessary to produce cooperation among individuals all of whom can benefit ...
Adam Smith's flash of genius was his recognition that the prices that emerged from voluntary transactions between buyers and sellers - for short, in a free market - could coordinate the activity of millions of people, each seeking his own interest, in such a way as to make everyone better off.
It was a startling idea then, and it remains one today, that economic order can emerge as the unintended consequence of the actions of many people, each seeking his own interest." - Milton Friedman
