It was a great sin to kill his brother. It was all about power, favor, and inheritance.

Killing your family is one of the worst things a person can do. They are blood

From the free market point of view it was an obvious thing to do. Make your position stronger by eliminating the competition. Nothing in the free market ethos is opposed to murder, theft, bribery, extortion, monopoly, aggrandizement of power, exploitation of the weak, and so on. Libertarians like to pretend they are against the extremism of unfettered free marketism, but, in actuality, all they are against is any attempt by government to protect human beings from the overwhelming power of corporatism. The most important and fundamental right, according to libertarians, is the right of property. No other right is even in the running.

Very well said. Greed will often over reach it's self.
