What is “true capitalism”? Specifically what time period and country are you talking about?
What “safety regulations” do you feel are harmful and need to be removed for the good of society?
What do you say to people who think this is complete nonsense? The “free market” wants to give me products filled with lead and asbestos, use my state’s rivers as their personal dumping grounds, and destroy indigineous people’s homelands so they can sell fossil fuels cheaper and destroy the planet faster. The “free market” wants low wage growth, a renter’s economy, and massive inequality. You’ll excuse me if I don’t believe that a magical invisible hand in some boardroom will look out for me.
- netizen-936824 5y agoThe impression I get from people who talk about the free market is that they consider nothing besides the market itself and nothing besides the exchange of goods is important
