Prices are, of course, a relative concept.
The degree to which people choose to aggregate within a particular community expresses itself in the price of real estate in that community. Similarly, the extent to which people choose to purchase particular products expresses itself in the price of the right or ability to produce those particular products. That is, part of the price or economic value of all that has economic value comes from the viability of society itself. Before anything can have economic value it must first be legitimately owned or otherwise monopolized by an individual or group. For such ownership to be meaningful it must be defended against all claims, legitimate or otherwise.
