Abstract: Abstract It has been hinted at multiple times so far that control over the entire operational landscape can be engineered. Recall from Chapters 8 and 11 that manipulating the terms of trade for organizations can alter the proportion of asset ownership can be altered. Using trade manipulation, the ownership of resources was changed by artificially altering the price or value of goods and money. This was meant, in part, to ensure that through managed exchanges those organizations friendly to one’s cause obtained either a greater value from the exchange or that those organizations had the ability to force competing organizations out of business. When the goal is to engineer ownership of the market, this can be a very indirect method that exaggerates normal competitive exchanges in a free market. There is a more direct method to accomplish this goal, however. By directly engineering the amounts and types of equity and/or debt, control over organizations, supply chains, entire industries, or in some cases even a large percentage of the local economy can be obtained.
