The free market has been the single most beneficial invention mankind has ever had as it has enabled most of the rest of the innovations. Free speech, freedom of association, and individual rights over government power that is the hallmark of true democracy is what makes life good for most people. We should defend all of these freedoms by shrinking governments and their encroachment on our lives.
