    I love this analogy. There are actually a ton of ways economics compare to nature (biodiversity, natural selection, balanced forces), and I think those analogies are great tools for learning about either subject. Awesome job, Henry!

    It depends on whether the big trees are flexible enough in their root and seeding systems to cover the hole in the canopy,whereas the smaller plants are already there,they have their root systems firmly in place,and the extra sunlight can help them grow far quicker.Absense of the dominant beer could cause people to seek out different flavors, and microbreweries already have the brand recognition within certain areas. In other words, they already have roots in places other brewers do not

    Funny thing with that idea is that most game devs and studios are aware of this, big publishers like, oh, Square Enix seem not to be quite as well aware of it. Of course, both video games and breweries are having a similar kind of renaissance in recent years with small, interesting, niche products experiencing a growth in market share while their overall markets also continues growing
