yytz. I think Torah economic system is more nuanced and it is often flexible enough to accommodate economic realities of different times.
One example: halakha allows limits to free competition by trade unions, with a couple of exceptions, including teachers – to make teachers sharp and make education affordable for poor. This is in striking contrast to current practice both in general and Jewish society, where schools and teachers are well protected. It seems to follow from this Gemorah that we prefer to have teachers less sharp.
