But the English common law was a legal "spontaneous order," as are all  
common law systems.  
  
And, I don't understand Peter's deeming the division of labor in the pin  
factory part of "a vast hierarchical command system."  The division of labor  
in any economy is an example of an absolute economic law--more can be  
produced by employing the division of labor than can be produced in its  
absence.  It works in a command economy or a laissez faire market economy.  
  
Perhaps Peter could explain what he means by "command system."
