@ryangrim I would argue slavery was crony capitalist and the market was MUCH freezer without it.
@conncarroll You started:"we grew food for centuries w/o ag subsidies" & r now down to a farm in NY. Care to revise your sweeping assertion?

@ryangrim and actually we started on crony capitalism. so, again, is it better when we have less or more of it? -
@conncarroll Let's go with less. But your point that for centuries capitalism functioned just fine without government is just not true

@ryangrim nope. Non-slave states were never dependent on slave labor to produce good. -
@conncarroll You don't acknowledge slavery had an effect on northern farm wages? Ok then. Don't know where to go from here. -
@ryangrim@conncarroll northern merchants were heavily invested in slave trade, too
