Talking with the missionaries about economics. One of them reminded me about the economic power of differences.
It's something we all know. The scriptures even talk about this, if you know where to look.
It is our commonalities that enable economic exchange. Thus the Left. Socialism. Communism, even.
It is our differences that make us profitable to each other. Thus the right. Capitalism. Corporatism. Maybe even Nationalism.
If we don't have enough in common, we have no way for economic exchange to occur.
If we don't have enough differences, we have nothing to exchange.
If we get stuck either direction, the economy falls over and dies.

It occurs to me that I need to provide the scripture reference for the title of this post. It's a bit of a misquote, but here it is:
Doctrine and Covenants 3: 2
Also, see Joshua 1: 7.
