I really like your last thought and I agree with it. Essentially this would increase diversity and just sheer mass of thought, innovation and likely happiness.

I really like your last thought and I agree with it. Essentially this would increase diversity and just sheer mass of thought, innovation and likely happiness. Mostly on small but sometimes on bigger scales.
The getting there part is what many disagree on though. I certainly don't know how and I suspect most people don't really know either.
- AnthonyMouse 6y agoAlmost all of the scarcity comes from purposeful regulation. We limit the supply of housing, we limit the supply of doctors, we give tax incentives for employers to provide low deductible health insurance that makes patients price insensitive and causes costs to balloon etc. The recipients of the money (e.g. landlords/existing homeowners, the AMA, drug companies) lobby hard to keep the status quo, because the money is going to them. So it's not easy to fix, in the sense that it's a political problem to get the change into law, not in the sense that we don't know what to change to fix it.
