Wrong. As Milton Friedman shows, economics comes first. There is no instance in history where you have a free political system but not a free economic system, but as your own example shows, there are several examples where you can have free economic systems without/before having a free political system. Economics comes first.
RE: there are several examples where you can have free economic systems without/before having a free political system.
So this is the goal for you and your ilk? Economic freedom as the exclusive goal, and political freedom be damned? If so, I urge you to leave my country and move to the PRC or some other hellish fascist land, for you are not wanted by those of us who believe in the USA and its Constitution.
