It's been argued on consequential rather than deontological grounds. I personally think that free markets are good because they are free - not because they are efficient... Once you start arguing from consequences - then the rabble gets wound up when the markets appear to be screwy. If you posit freedom as the superordinate good - then you don't have these problems when bubbles pop - and then we wouldn't have everyone running to socialism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918467013889155723.post-11021236113477699902009-06-02T21:10:11.661-04:002009-06-02T21:10:11.661-04:00"What I have no interest in doing is running ..."What I have no interest in doing is running GM,"<br /><br />No, he will put one of his minions in to do the job for him.Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02467510776931664234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918467013889155723.post-68800189995391140432009-06-02T15:52:14.222-04:002009-06-02T15:52:14.222-04:00great piece girl..and spot on!!great piece girl..and spot on!!WomanHonorThyselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211851365273181636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918467013889155723.post-27255928775039268202009-06-02T15:45:22.446-04:002009-06-02T15:45:22.446-04:00The liberals are strangely quiet about recent topi...The liberals are strangely quiet about recent topics like these.<br /><br />It makes me sad to see the direction that this country is going in.<br /><br />It sickens me to see how much the media worships Obama. And it angers me when I think about how stupidly Americans voted in this extremist with ZERO experience into office.<br /><br />So I often think to myself, "America deserves what it gets!" I really don't blame Obama, because it's been pretty clear from the beginning what he is. I blame Americans for voting for him. I can't believe that such a stupid chant like "CHANGE" would dupe so many people. Are people really that stupid? I guess so.<br /><br />Maybe these socialists are right about people not knowing how making the right decisions for themselves. The masses are stupid. But doesn't mean that government can do better. I still believe that free market capitalism is the best economic system in this far-from-perfect world.<br /><br />D.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
