Libertarianism treats the market as a game when it suits (i.e. when other people are "cheating") and as a natural law the rest of the time (i.e. when other people want to change the already-artificial rules of the game via politics).
- robertlagrant 4y agoI don't quite follow why you're saying that, but as per my brief previous comment, I'm not saying it's a natural law, nor a game.
- ElevenLathe 4y agoSorry, I thought you were implicitly calling it as a game (which is IMO the correct and true view), since cheating can only happen in a game where there are established rules.
