I am always interested in tangential parts of history. I would have loved to get a PhD in history by studying business history. I am fascinated with all aspects of business, and I think that a history of business or even businesses in america would be fascinating and point to the rest of american history in the process (as business interests often overlap with political interests and decision making.)

One conclusion that occurred to me just now is that these Anthropologists would likely OK something such as file-sharing along all the same grounds that they OK homosexuality.
