10. In the real world...
the beer actually costs $250, and $150 is being borrowed by all 10 men from the loan shark down the street, who will come back in 20 years and demand it, plus 1000% interest, from their children.

No one is beating up anyone. And really it's not about beer, but about things necessary for survival like healthcare, housing and police protection.

TAnd that's just a start. The analogy is absurd on so many levels I find it hard to believe it was really written by a college professor.
