What differences do "market theory" and "market tech/technology/
technologies" suggest?  They're similar, but different.  Both do

psychology, sociology, and economics.

Market theory could include algorithms, etc. but my initial reaction is
- What makes an auction good, just, fair, well run - it turns into an
ethical discussion for me - although that might not be a bad topic for
here either.

Is that a case in favor of .market.theory or in favor of .market.tech?  In
my mind, ethical issues fit much more closely with what .market.theory means
but not so much with what .market.tech* means, so ethics would be a case in
favor .market.theory to me.

Unless...are you hinting at a .market.ethics group?  That could be quite a
bit of fun too, but it would probably not encompass theories and
technologies as well as .market.theory would.
