O horrible man. How dare you deny the Intelligent Economy Designer?

But I did no such thing..... Milton Fiedman did; I merely reposted his illustration of the principle of designer-less complexity.

Speaking of Friedman, he was interviewed by Charlie Rose, and during the course of the hour long interview, CR asked MF is he had changed his mind about anything. MF thought for a moment and replied: "Why, yes! I used to think that there was some good that came from the anti-trust laws, but I have since come to the realization that they do more damage than good."

From the context of that comment during the interview, I got the impression that the anti-trust law was just about the only form of government intervention in the market that Freidman had entertained as being possibly positive, and having realized that he was mistaken, the last remaining edifice of the state interfering in the marketplace was at last swept from Friedman's view of the ideal market.
