It will be very surprising if there is a way to achieve comparable results with significantly less burden on others. European countries have looked for it for 40 years now.
- zozbot234 6y ago> European countries have looked for it for 40 years now. They really haven't. Classical liberalism, while perhaps more popular than in the U.S., is still a niche political stance in Europe. The 1980s saw a wave in liberalization and deregulation, and that's when stuff like NIT or UBI reached its peak in popularity.
- nickik 6y agoEuropean countries are democracies. Change is incredibly slow and often incredibly resisted. You act as if European countries were lead by some philosopher kinds in search of the perfect system. Look at how hard it was for German to reform its social system in 90/00s for example. And German was one of the countries that actually achieved significant reforms while many others didn't.
