Don't forget Rule 211 "Employees are the rungs on the ladder of success. Don't be afraid to step on them." (Gint, 7500 B.C.E.). It's kinda funny that the Farengi were supposed to be an exaggerated example of laissez fair capitalism on TNG, but the writers of DS9 turned the rules of acquisition into something that's more applicable in our world than Star Trek.
