This is a great analogy, one which I've been making for a while.
18 months ago, I wrote a blog article about how the war on terror can be thought of as an economic war, where economic transactions either encourage or discourage the individual from using violence.
This also plays into some of the concepts that Wolfram has been going on about. What is the smallest set of rules that create all of those SKUs and prosperity? Is there a similar set of rules running the universe? (Assuming the Computational Universe theory is correct) Good stuff.
