@atommorgan that's what happens when you let free markets rule, see America -
@levelsio Free markets have gotten us to the level of wealth we enjoy today. Crony capitalism and bad policies get us the poor of today. -
@atommorgan 46 million people in US live in poverty http://talkpoverty.org/basics/ in a proclaimed "free market" -
@levelsio Nobody honestly considers America to have a free market. It isn't even close. -
@atommorgan what do you consider a free market? -
@levelsio A market that has very little to no regulations on consensual human exchange. An example? Not one outside of 1v1 interactions. -
@atommorgan so how can you say free markets are the solution when you also say there are no occurrences of free markets -
@levelsio No true occurrences but the freest markets in history have provided the greatest prosperity. Leaning to free seems to be better. - 2 more replies
