particularly as applied in the economic sense

a modern global economy could not exist w/o mutual aid

interdependence is the rule

w/o the mutual aid of a legal system capitalism would be impossible

w/o the mutual aid of a gov't taxing for the public goodto build roads, bridges, airports, ports and harbors, energy grids, running water and sewer systems, a modern economy would be impossible

as that provides the infrastructure upon which an economy is dependent

as would almost all modern science and the technology it produces upon which our economy is based

like the computer and the internet

and particularly a monetary system and a banking system

we also couldn't have hospitals w/ emergency departments w/o gov't allocation of capital from taxation

all require the mutual aid of democratic government
