- cryptica 6y agoGovernment intervention is unavoidable. It's just a matter of choosing the right kind of intervention. Facebook wouldn't exist without government support and expansionary monetary policy. We can go to an extreme and point out that to properly decouple state from economics, we'd have to abolish corporate personhood first. We would need to abolish 'limited liability' legal entities; the real purpose of these entities is to allow individuals to repudiate responsibility for their actions by deflecting blame towards these abstract legal entities. This doesn't make any sense aside from facilitating criminal activity. Whenever a corporation commits a crime and isn't shut down (which is 100% of the time), that is government interference of the worst kind.
