Rules of Acquisition

The Rules of Acquisition serve as an equivalent to the Talmud in Ferengi corporate religion. An ideal transaction in Ferengi philosophical thought is one where all of the Rules remain unbroken - in practice this is untenable as the Rules are inevitably self-contradictory.

The numbering system used for the Rules is traditional and should not be thought of as a ranking of importance due to their advisory nature. All rights are reserved.
