Do Exploding Samsungs Signal Market Failure?
Most people are happy to accept the inconvenience, send their device back, await repairs, and decide whether to continue their consumership with Samsung or seek alternatives. The world is an imperfect place. But the beauty of the market is that it is constantly at work trying to improve its product – in service of both you and money.

Sadly, Trade and Commerce Have Always Been Vilified
Socialism and capitalism are relatively new, but their basic precepts are not. In so far as capitalism is only the latest iteration of an economic set up based on commerce, private property and profit making, there have always been those who found those three unpalatable.

DETAILS MATTER: AGAINST ‘ADIAPHORA’
The refrain has been around for a while: “In what is essential, unity; in what is doubtful, liberty; in all things, charity.” The notion of adiaphora, or matters of indifference, makes a strong appearance in modernity, perhaps most notably in Lutheran and Anglican contexts, though it does so almost entirely in relation to questions of worship and church governance rather than in theology proper. My modern Church history colleagues might provide a more comprehensive analysis. For the moment I am content with the suggestion that our near-universal distinction between “essentials” and “non-essentials” (or, sometimes, doctrine and discipline) is relatively new. New, and toxic. Details matter. As one 12th-century commentator put it, in the mysteries of the Church “there is nothing idle.”
