 Readers' Forum on Spontaneous Order: The Online Library of Liberty
Norman Barry states, at one point in his essay, that the patterns of spontaneous order "appear to be a product of some omniscient designing mind" (p.
Barry raises the important question whether the same process of spontaneous evolution can be thought to apply to economic processes under a system of legal rules and to the development of the legal rules themselves.
Barry is of course right that the legal system that emerges through "survival of the fittest" may not be conducive to classical liberalism (or at least one needs some argument to show that there must be such a correspondence.

 The James Bond Theme   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Norman has always claimed that he himself composed the "James Bond Theme" and that Barry was simply brought in to arrange the song and give it the Barry sound.
An alternate version of events claims that Barry that was actually hired to ghost the song; that he wrote it for a flat fee and that Norman got official credit because Norman was contracted for the rest of the score.
Barry won his first Academy Award for his score to "Born Free" (1966) and later was Oscar-nominated for his work on "The Lion in Winter" (1968) and "Out of Africa" (1985).

Barry was surprised that Norman had been chosen to score the film as he was basically a song writer rather than a composer of film scores.
Barry said that the vamp used in the "James Bond Theme" had been used many times and originated from Artie Shaw's "Nightmare." There was a vamp on the manuscript Norman had given him but the style of it on the recording was due to Barry.

Barry, the legendary composer who used the 007 theme at the core of his 10 Bond scores, reportedly sat across from Norman, 72, in the London court as the theme played in open court during the case.

 MR. KISS KISS BANG BANG! BOND BY BARRY. (part 1 of 2)
Barry's version of events was confirmed by the film's director, Terence Young, who also commented that Norman originally wanted to use 'Underneath The Mango Tree' as the theme for the whole series.
Norman went on to say he approached John Burgess, an EMI producer, who loved the theme and suggested John Barry for the orchestration.
Barry was not exactly thrilled, when, after paying to see the film, he found 'his' theme had not only been used over the titles but also in various places throughout the movie.

 Norman vs Barry - CBn Forums
Norman unquestionably wrote the main part of the theme- the riff upon which most of the theme is based including the bebop part, but I saw nothing to say he composed all of it.
Norman wrote the basis of the theme upon which Barry expanded upon and was responsible for its success I far as I can see.
Norman still looks like someone who created something that became worldwide by mistake, and is enjoying the ride, snubbing up everyone (including Barry, who disagree with him) and the press in the process.

 Norman Records UK: credits.
Norman had been watching activity on Earth for a long time and had observed a society that craved stimuli, dominantly musical; he saw an opportunity to spread his ideas.
Together with Phil as his right-hand man he set up Norman Records, a hub from which to sell music and paraphernalia (and 12-step method cassettes on achieving a perfect society) to the masses of media hungry humans.
Rumours have circulated that embedded in each item Norman Records sells is a subliminal signal undetectable by anything except the subconscious mind, which lays out, and makes the receptor believe, Phil and Norman's plans for a perfected society.

 Bibliographical Essay, Barry Spontaneous Order: The Online Library of Liberty
Indeed, the contemporary concern with specialization in the social sciences is itself an important barrier to the acceptance of the doctrine of spontaneous evolution precisely because this theory straddles so many of the artificial boundaries between academic disciplines.
It may be the case that the monopoly reflects superior efficiency, or that without the prospect of monopoly gains a particular good would not be produced at all.
In any event, as long as there are no governmental barriers to entry the monopolist operates under some constraint so that rather than eliminate monopoly by law and artificially create some abstract concept of 'perfect competition,' it is better to let natural competitive processes operate.

Norman presented the BBC's film review programme for years and years and years.
Over that period, the format changed hardly at all: Norman may have bought a new tie, or the lighting may have become more subtle but generally the BBC had a winner and sensibly decided that if it ain't broke, then don't fix it.
Imagine the blow to the nation, therefore, and to Norman's new fans on BBC World when Sky waved a magic chequebook and lured him away.
