    From your own "correcting" link:

    In the popular Discworld comic fantasy books by Terry Pratchett, the Discworld is a flat disc that rests on the backs of four huge elephants which are in turn standing on the back of an enormous turtle as it slowly swims through space. In the book Small Gods, the question "what does the turtle stand on?" is asked, and gets the reply "It's a turtle, for heaven's sake. It swims. That's what turtles are for." In his introduction to The Discworld Companion, Pratchett uses the phrase in a different sense, describing the recurrence of the Earth on a turtle in myth as "turtles all the way".

    Capitalism is not about efficiency, it is about profit. If efficiency gets the biggest profits, efficiency will be pursued. However, if a company can be inefficient and get more profit that way, like in most monopolies, then they will do that.
