 <description>&lt;p&gt;i&amp;#39;ve worked in industry for 20 years and managed lean manufacturing departments. i&amp;#39;ve been considering lean principles in applicaiton to market econmies, chiefly that it something dose not add value, it subtracts value. brokers of every sort are a necessary function of the market economy. it&amp;#39;s my forming oppionion they only serve to suck value and add additional cost with many examples available. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;i&amp;#39;ve not found any reasearch, but i think &amp;quot;flatening&amp;quot; is lean and lean should first eliminate all those who do not add value and only serve to creat price bubles. if i am right, and you are right, shouldn&amp;#39;t the first sign be the ellimination of brokers? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;i think this is the antithesis to neo-con idiology, functionaly, as well, so i suspect mighty resistance, even religious opposition to this idea. &lt;/p&gt;</description>
