thats nice, some people think anarchy is great too
Having lived through hurricanes where stuff gets destroyed and supplies are extremely limited I know that real life is different than book learnin.
Monopolies are bad, whatever their form.
“Monopolies are bad, whatever their form”
Wrong. Oh so much economic ignorance would disappear had not that term been so abused.
“some people think anarchy is great too”
The reason it isn’t is mostly because people would quickly fill the force vacuum with all manner of coercion. For instance, like laws condemning voluntary exchange at prices freely set and agreed to.
“Monopolies are bad, whatever their form”
For instance in the form of arbitrarily setting the price of bottled water by legal fiat rather than by a position of advantage due to sudden adverse weather? It never ceases to amuse me that the great enemies of evil monopoly only ever offer as solution a different monopoly. It monopolies are bad, period, then monopolistic legal solutions to private monopoly are bad, too.
I live in a suburb of New Orleans. I stayed through Katrina and many other hurricanes. My post 34 has a nonbook-learning discussion how a free people could solve the problems we see after hurricanes. My discussion wasn't "book learnin" It's a realistic discussion of how freedom and a free people's response to crises can solve problems.
Believe me, I have nothing but contempt for professor type eggheads -lol.
Monopolies are bad, whatever their form.
Huh? Monopolies? I don't believe monopolies are part of the discussion. No monopoly can exist long-term in the marketplace without government providing assistance in keeping out the competition. Have a good day.
