I would say it is not natural selection, but something different.
The market seems to evolve according to Lamarkian or super-Lamarkian
principles: offsprings inherit acquired characteristics of their
parents, and entities can change their own structure when they find
a need for it. Very complex, I wonder what to call this kind of
evolution?
