Free Enterprise does need some constraints. Adam Smith and Milton Friedman argued for that. Capitalism is a Marxist word, so I prefer to use Free Enterprise. Read Friedman's book "Freedom to Choose." Individual should make their own economic decisions, not government. Government is inefficient as it spends other peoples money. I believe in economic freedom as well as political freedom. Multinational corporation are not a threat to economic freedom as long as we have anti-trust laws. Of course Ayn Rand would disagree with that.
I believe in economic freedom as well as political freedom.I agree with you, and wonder if there is such a thing as political freedom without economic freedom.
Look around us. As people lose their economic freedom, they lose the imagination necessary to elect anything beyond the norm, which is two parties that support the same policies. And these would be the policies that take decision-making away from us, in all aspects of our lives.
(Gosh, this is an interesting and stimulating thread...just like in the old days)
