Ownership dictates rules Whatever entity owns an economy dictates the rules of the economy. Be very wary of any economy that uses a set of rules dictated by a human or some sort of arbitrary power structure.

The law of Moses (not at all reflected in modern or ancient j daism or kabalah or anything like that) presented an economy that had no central power structure. It had teachers and judges (who arose from every family equally), but no central managing or governing body.

There are many rule based economies that one can look at over time.
