your post: " power hungry national governments which most certainly do the most harm of all."
Forbes statement:
First and foremost is the rule of law: Without individual equality before the law, entrepreneurs cannot challenge already existing businesses. Alliances between the latter and government regulators who place barriers before entrepreneurs must be guarded against.

Gov has a role and is accepted by forbes..equality is paramount. As you have posted before on Free Trade and as I have shown the fact there is NO FREE TRADE with America having Tariffs of 1.6% while most of the world has Tariffs of 20% plus,..,this is not equality this is not capitalism this is America subsidizing the world..who Benefits socialist or communist countries: China, EU, India..
Your support of so call current free trade is a joke and
illogical if what you post as your positions are accurate.
