Your tagline fits well with what I am about to say.

The market will work whether we desire it or not. It can be delayed, sidetracked, and handicapped but eventually it will out.

Why? The free market embraces and supports human nature. It will transform the selfish desires of each individual into a good for the whole. (Credit R. Buckminster Fuller with that.) Other systems, or modifications to the free enterprise system, thwart human nature and as a result will eventually fail. Communism is a prime example of that. Unionism a close second.

Some confuse, or try to confuse us with the idea that, globalization means one world government. In the economic sense it is simply the natural result of advances in transportation and communication. Add free enterprise to that and you get what we have and what we will have to a greater extent later. Efforts to stop that will fail.

What do you mean by "modifications to the free enterprise system?"

Let me give you a childish example of what might confound my wish to comment.

In the good old days of childhood, my friends and I would shut down the bossy guy in the crowd with something like, "You can't tell me what to do.  I have rights."  The other guy would back off, we'd trade insults, or we'd have a dandy little fist fight and wrestling match to see who really had rights.   Funny thing is when we went home and were sent off to do our chores, nobody stood their ground and asserted their rights to do differently.

The free market is kinda like that, isn't it?  It is only free within certain not always specified rules enforced by not always friendly authority.  That's why I asked about modifications.

Enjoyed the comments.  I do worship in the same religion, but may practice it in a different denomination.
