" Cost-efficiency needs some honest reflection. If cost-efficiency compares with its analog in physics—output equals input less friction—then the most efficient, or profitable, system eliminates the most friction; move fast through the “tube” into the gas chamber. Stangl, too, had to give the most bang for the buck. Because every exchange is always a relationship, to get the most while giving the least is unjust, unethical, antisocial, abusive, perhaps “evil.” Yet predatory commerce (“the free market” as it is euphemistically called) operates regularly on the principle of “get the most and pay the least.” Predatory commerce differs from Treblinka only in degree, not in principle.
