The Free Market Can Do a Better Job
Russell S. Sobel | Visiting Scholar in Entrepreneurship in the School of Business Administration at The Citadel
More Libertarian free market fundamentalism from an armchair philosopher.
Free market fundamentalism reminds of Aristotle's argument that the heavenly bodies must travel in circular orbits, you know, because circles are perfectly symmetrical.
The free market can't even function without government spending so the argument is absurd.
ReplyDeleteWhere does all of the money the free-market works with come from?
we all know how well the free market health insurace worked out so well in making sure every man,woman, and child recieve care regardless of their economic situation.
ReplyDeletefree-markets fundamentalism at its finest, I always thought of it as an ideology without positive empirical back-up, which was bad enough; now it seems that it has passed over into the realm of religious belief, which needs no evidence of the claims it makes anywhere. just utter disasters like the "free-market" experiments in Chile and indeed the US, no we just have to ignore all these failed vestiges of evidences and keep beating the same drum until you believe the fairy-tale.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable, these wankers destroyed our economy with their subjective BS and they still haven't learned a thing. what a bunch of ogres.
