Fair enough, let me clarify: When an individual engages freely in a business transaction or relationship with a corporation, I think that government intervention should be minimal. A clear example of this is employment-at-will. This doctrine only exists in the US. Everywhere else, governments step in and determine that you can not fire someone without cause. Competition is what makes this point of view OK, without it, it does become a monopoly and problematic.
- mnm1 7y agoI would say an individual never engages freely in a working relationship unless that individual is already so rich that he doesn't need to work. Otherwise it's by necessity that people have to get jobs as we do not have the ability to reject the social contract and live off the land or anything like that (legally or practically). At will employment is a misnomer. There's nothing at will about most employment regardless of what we call it.
