If we value democracy in our government, why don't we value it in business as well?

My pardon, since when did governments become "democratic"? I wouldn't label flawed (parliamentary)aristocracies, autocracies and theocracies "democratic".

I gotta say it. First time I read through this, I could have sworn it said something like this:Dammit, and I got accused of tech-wanking for using megawatt-scale free electron laser CIWS on my (nuclear powered) vessels to block spam missiles!
I was like, "Who the hell are you fighting... or more importantly, was your lunch meat laced?"

Let's say there are two countries, Rich and Poor. Each country has 10 people.
Poor has 5 biscuits to share. Capitalism wouldn't work, obviously; those without biscuits would fight the ones who did. Hence, they would need to share equally to prevent disorder - socialism.
Rich has 20 biscuits to share. Socialism would work fine, but human nature would result in some bartering/trading, such that some people get more biscuits for certain concessions. However, everybody would presumably have at least one biscuit, so capitalism would be preferable.
