I oppose unfettered capitalism as put forward by the right for two reasons. (1) It isn't unfettered -- the first thing wealth does is warp the rules so they gain unfair advantages over consumers as well as competitors. (2) It is morally blind, so free markets don't care if say a third of the population starves to death if that is part of the equilibrium point that maintains the highest revenue for the supplier.
But you make my point for me wonderfully about putting regulations on the free market by comparing economics to biological evolution. Left to itself, biological evolution weeds out the sick with cold efficiency. We humans have developed a choking red tape regulation on the free market of biological evolution known as medicine. With it, we impose limits on the free market of biological evolution. We do that because we assert that we as human beings have higher aims than mere cold equations and efficiency.
Thank you for an excellent arrow to add to the liberal quiver. That will prove very useful in helping talk to more intellectually honest thinkers about the benefits of economic regulation.Last edited by Kepler; 07-12-2017, 10:44 AM.Cornell University
