Economists call the idea “spontaneous order.”
Just as a school of fish needs no leader, most of us-in most of life figure things out on our own.
Even in my hometown New York City, where authoritarian politicians constantly impose new rules, spontaneous order is occasionally allowed.
A perfect example: Central Park.
When government ran the park, it was dirty, dangerous and the grass was dead.
Politicians let go a little, allowing a nonprofit conservancy [disclosure: I’m a director], manage Central Park.
The Conservancy does a better job. Now the park is clean and safe.
The video gives more examples of spontaneous order.
The government's greatest fear is you discovering how little you need them in your life.
I have little doubt that people know how little they need government. Rather, it would seem their biggest fear is a government taking their lives or their freedom away. Little do they realize that they're _already_ enslaved, by money. Care to take a guess who masters the money? It's a perfectly evil little circle when you stop and think about it because all we're really talking about here is _power._ And just like that, we're right back to government again. Hmmmm... 🤔

Louis Rossman documented on YT how NYC ran his computer repair shop out of town due to excessive fees and nonsense laws that aren't made to make things safer, but made to make people pay more fines. He documented his search for a new state to live in and finally settled on Texas. He said as soon as he started working on his business, people approached him and told him who he needed to contact and what he needed to do and gave him names of people who did construction and signs and all that. Instead of a labyrinthine bureaucracy to navigate, full of people who want your money but hate your business, he found there was only a step or two he had to perform with the city/county and lots of people who came to him and wanted to help him get open and were excited to have a new business in town. He said he was blown away by how different it was.
He is a great guy and an honest businessman also....
Wasnt that the guy that NYC tried to collect city tax from him even though he was out of state and his business was out of state?
Rossman, not Grossman
@@cdrone4066 Thank you.
@@MrTuggins I wouldn't be surprised. They fined him for selling a used laptop without surrender paperwork. They would not accept the fact that he had a contract with the person that stipulated an automatic surrender the laptop if they failed to pay for the repairs, and that this person had not paid for the repairs and he was unable to contact them after months.
Rather like a dry cleaner never being allowed to dispose of clothing that no one comes back in to pay for.
The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help
Yep. Reagan said it first, and recently someone edited the video of him saying it together with a clip of Kamala Harris unironically saying something like "we're here to help". 🤣
Almost as terrifying as "I alone can fix it."
In most cases, government doesn't solve problems, they are the problem.
People are the problem- people talk dumb stuff how disfunctional Congress is because it doesn't pass many acts- I'd them to pass zero acts and repeal dozens. Biden's presidency passed a dozen acts which mostly consisted of porkbarreling, pay off to donors, waste and no real solutions to anything.
Yes, absolutely! Don't forget how Democrat Government has solved the BLM's and ANTIFA's problems!!!?
No. People are the problem.
@@SS-yj2le Its government, you can complain all you want, you can waive the middle finger at me, that's cool, I don't care. Its government that tackles little Timmy to the ground for flying his 1 ounce toy helicopter inches off the ground in his own backyard that's the problem. Its government that is the issue, not people.
@@jakegarrett8109 So tell me. How exactly is the government in power? Who decided to give them power? Who works for the government and why? The people do. The government is composed of different interests that vary based on how the rule of law is established whether it be democracy or aristocracy. Maybe Timmy's backyard was just a short distance away from a take off area of an airport and the government needed to have it down so it doesn't end up in a plane engine and cause the plane to crash. You also have the corporations of the people who take over everything and all the resources. Effectively being their own government where no one has a say.
My god I wish the government would stay the F out of our business! They seem to screw up everything they touch!
THAT is a FACT!
well stop voting for them and funding them, its really not complicated, government is ILLEGITIMATE

I started my business in California in 2000. Didn’t profit until ten years later when I moved to Texas. I wasn’t taxed at every possible level and had the easiest time setting up with the state. I couldn’t believe how friendly and easy people in the agencies were. Been thriving ever since. God bless Texas.
now you see why Texas is growing so fast.
Too bad, Californians are moving to Red States, and voting for the exact same shit!
You can deal with a few wild individuals on your own, but not a demanding government full of ridiculous rules.
How about billions of wild individuals?
@@BicycleFunk
There aren't a billion wild individuals. There's a small handful of wild individuals but instead of controlling them you seek to control everyone because it's easier and gives the illusion that you've actually solved the problem since most of them comply without question. Sorry but we don't need your control. We need you to control your impulse to control.
That's why the Founders gave a system for LIMITED Government!

Politicians don't get elected by promising spontaneous order. Republican and Democrat voters all want their politicians to "do something" about their problems and issues. Doing something invariably involves more laws, not fewer.
True in most circumstances. Some vote for politicians who promise to relax laws and allow the free market to take over. It does happen but not often enough. Too many Americans do require a full time nanny now in order to have false beliefs of safety.
And when politicians try to fix social and other issues, they usually just make it worse, because they want to collect votes in doing so. And they like to form a bureaucracy around issues, which gives them power to appoint loyalists of the party and to the politician themself to positions, as getting reelected is their first priority.
With some exceptions. Repealing Prohibition for example.
This was Trump's 2016 campaign, it also was his 2020 campaign, and it's his 2024 campaign. Stop government from governing some much, to "Break the machine" of government, so to speak. People voted for more government because they saw foolish people doing foolish things during COVID, and got ineffective government that listens to foolish voter who are the same foolish people they were afraid of.
When governments do less, but not nothing, everyone does better. The government works less and gets paid the same. Voters are happier and more successful. And then people will want more government to do more to keep the success going and that will ruin what they are doing. It's a cycle.
Not on the Right. We vote for smaller government, not larger.
Politicians have to justify their existence. We really don’t need them anymore.
("Anymore"? 😂 Well, better realized late than never, I suppose...)
We only need one to keep the rest away 😂
So true. Politics and government worship have become 'dead religions' as more and more people are creating a new parallel society that works better without relying on any govt. "help".
Limited government. Not zero government.
I wish that more people would realize they don't need government to tell them what to do.
I sure don't
That's almost impossible since government has become the new religion for many.

Congrats on posting the most unoriginal comment on a Stossel video lol
Agreed!
Stossel is the best investigative reporter America has ever had - and now it looks like he's the only investigative reporter left in america. Thanks for your lifetime of work.
He's definitely good, but there are others. James O'Keefe, Mark Rufo, Andy Ngo to name a few.
and Sharyl Atkisson, etc.
He's the most palatable libertarian that ever lived. A lifetime of helping people understand that government is not the answer.

On April 29, 2007, a fuel truck crashed and burned on an overpass near San Francisco. Millions of people traveled that every day. Governor Schwarzenegger was able to get rid of all the red tape and get that overpass rebuilt within weeks. It’s amazing what can happen when government gets out of the way.
Same with that california freeway collapse from massive earthquake. I think it was early 1990's?? A dozen or so bridges collapsed and were rebuilt within 2 months when guv't stepped out of the way.
Whoever designed Common Core should watch this.
In Indonesia, people hates and didn't trust their government. But, when they have a problem they always ask government help, more and more. It's just ridiculous.

Mr. Stossel,
As someone who grew up watching your reporting, I'm very glad you've found success here on this platform. Thank you for your work!
This is exactly how the city traffic works in Vietnam. Looks messy makes you nervous but it works for the locals. People works for government constantly push to get bigger team or expand without considering the cost to maintain the infrastructure. Thanks for making these types of videos. Well done
Vietnam is so wild. Locals were laughing at me not knowing when to cross the street. Chaotic order... thousands of scooters, didn't see one wreck.
It just occurred to me last night. All the truly horrible large scale events that have occurred in history were done by governments. Unfortunately, we need government, but . . . never, ever, turn your back or leave a government running unattended.
Need them for what?
Sovereign defence, yes.
Enforcing laws, yes.
Can’t think of a single other one which can’t be done better by private markets.
I can't believe Stossel doesn't have more subscribers and likes....so much information in all of his videos
Because his videos go against the control freaks, and he makes too much sense for the ministers of chaos, aka msm and social media

Politicians don't get rewarded for not doing what they shouldn't be doing. If income tax was zero, that's not giving people money, it's just them ceasing to steal it.
Mr Stossel is a true American Treasure.
Because he supports slavery and foodwasting?
I've loved John Stossel since the 90s and I am a lifelong Conservative libertarian politically and aspiring but flawed Christian studying the scriptures for wisdom and insight on the human condition. Bottom line. The forces of evil and oppression always have the homecourt advantage in human civilization. Americas founders were brilliant and flawed but they gave us a basic framework for self government. Limited power of centralized government, rooted in Greek logic and reason tempered by Judeo Christian ethics. Progressives have always hated that restricted framework of government authority beginning with Wilson. They know better than God. They are gods in their own minds, and that is a recipe for the greatest oppression of the governed when it becomes a religion of zealots FORCING everyone to comply. They now own 3 generations of American College grads to achieve their goal.
Just look how China has turned out with centralized government.
Wouldn't it have just been better for the founding fathers to just base the laws on christian laws/the bible instead then?
Very well said 👍👍👍
@@blackagent4754 Well, they did. They didn't base all laws on the exact laws in the Old Testament, which were specifically stated to be for Israelites only in Palestine (Deuteronomy 12:1), but on the principles found in the laws. The reason you have the saying "innocent until proven guilty" is because Blackstone recognized that God wouldn't destroy Sodom and Gomorrah if there were some innocent people there.
The other issue that almost everyone misses is that almost all the rules of Christian morality are only to be applied to other Christians, not non-Christians (1 Corinthians 5:12). So, you can't just make Christian morality a law and then expect everyone to follow it. Not only would the non-Christians fail because they shouldn't be held to that standard, but all Christians would fail some of the laws some of the time!
Try to point that out, and they will call you the brainwashed one.
I think part of the story here is not just how people can create their own prosperity but. In order to create that you have to create your own truth, I've noticed how the government lately seems to be very well invested in the idea of creating truth or enforcing what is truth. Or defining the qualifications of a person who can declare truth. And it seems to me that once a government is in the market of creating truth, authoritarianism is around the corner.
We need some social order. The crazies are running our country at this time.
well we dont need a government ruling class and you dont seem to know history because ALL governments turn tyrannical thats why it must be abolished
We used to have spontaneous law and order, but........
Most of those crazies are political activists, who seek to implement their agendas through force of government. All the problems in our society are the result of those failed government policies. Stop asking the government to fix the problems that it created!
Yep, we call them politicians.
Social order is not the same as government mandated order. Social order is based upon shared cultural attributes.
We need more reporters like John that take a political or economic point of interest, find where it has been tried and just report on it.
They loosened the rules for patios during covid here as well. Now they're forcing businesses to either tear them down or complete reams of paperwork that might not end in them being able to keep the patio. Most done under the guise of safety and equity...
Power hungry thugs, give the people what they want - patios! And freedom!
They let go of some things when they're going to apply an iron fist elsewhere. Now that the COVID fist has let up....
@Stevarooni
Right. It's like saying we have had record job growth after they shut all the jobs down and are now letting them open back up lol.
They should sue under the eminent domain laws regarding "takings".
That was a great video I just wish the government would let go a little bit and let people be themselves
Not in California. Not in New York.
Let the responsible, self-sufficient, law-abiding, hard-working people be themselves. They already let the miscreants to be themselves.
well thats not goin to happen, you need to get rid of government its ILLEGITIMATE
they never give the power back, they will do ANYTHING to keep it
We get the government that we vote for... If what you really want from government is to be left alone, then start electing representatives that will repeal laws instead of passing new ones.
They relaxed some rules during COVID-19 but went full totalitarian in other areas.
Right, he forgets that conveniently!

Well written and delivered. Thank you Mr. Stossel.
So much truth in this video. Small government is much better. Hands off, let people live.
The best order comes when individual communities live for themslves rather than being locked on federal news stories seen on television. As usual a grest feature, John.
maybe in "small" 5 million people communities, so they can afford to industrialize their own defensive army,
like Finland. few defensive nuclear bombs.
A society that strives to create the most amount of individual liberty as possible is ultimately pious.
We need to stop giving them the power they THINK they have.
Maybe the police should enforce the actual crimes in NYC like shoplifting or robbery or assault on the subway? Illicit drug use in the streets with needles and criminal's gun play... politicians want to take away gun rights from law abiding citizens to prevent criminals from shooting up public places? This is a great piece of journalism John! Thanks
EXCELLENT VIDEO! Never heard the term spontaneous order. Great idea! All those years I listened to mainstream news I never heard anyone use this term. (But then again I'm only one person and there are a lot of news channels.) I haven't watched mainstream TV for over a year now. There has been so much disinformation and bias and failure to look at all information and viewpoints that I now only watch independent news reports like this one. By the way, I did watch John Stossel years ago on mainstream news reports, and I'always liked what the guy had to say. He was and is a thinking man, not some high-paid desk jockey reading from a script.
"spontaneous order" only works in a civil society and
all involved must agree on the same Cultural rules
I get in LINE to PAY for my goods, while others are permitted to fill up trash bags with whatever they want ,
whenever they want, then walk out as they please. No "spontaneous order" without a homogeneous society
Exactly. There is planning in everything we do. The difference is how close the government is to those they govern. Central Park is better in the hands of one group who's only concern is running Central Park. When you put someone in charge who is responsible for the entire city, Central Park is only a minor concern.
Plus, as you stated, social order can only come from cohesive social beliefs (aka culture) that we all share. Where government over reaches, social order should be filling those gaps.
The thing is, that that doesn't come from government, it comes from the philosophic principles that are promoted and adopted, which come from the intelligencia, the idea peddlers, the universities

One of the thing Stossel helped me realize is this principle isn't unique to markets, but everything.
Every that happens is basically a bit of data and the reason why we have good or bad outcomes, etc is what data we present and how well it is accepted.
Great context John! I think the government should give us the space we need giving the current economic crisis globally I believe the most important thing that should be on everyone’s mind currently is investing in various sources of income that doesn't depend on the government because we need to give then space too 😉
I believe the global currency reset is already happening, in no time the physical cash will be useless as the current banking system is crashing, not even the IRA will be excluded. I'm putting my funds off the banking system and have them regulated into the New Financial system (NFS) through the regulated digital tokens that are backed up by precious metals like gold and silver.
Although the economy has so far held up, the SVB scenario serves as a warning that Fed rate hikes are still having an impact. At times like this, investors must be vigilant about the next inevitability. You don't have to act on every forecast, therefore I'll advise you to hire a financial counselor. This has been my fallback position for a while.

The self-organizing principle of humans is one of those things that authority figures don't want you to notice, so they can claim it as their own effort.
This is incredibly relevant and important in this current woke culture. Thank you!
Most people need structure and appreciate when things are efficient. It’s built into our instincts to form groups for mutual benefit. It’s the outliers who decide to insert chaos into the system for their own selfish purposes. This is happening in many cities where people have dropped out of life to live on the streets and take drugs, and others are stealing from people and business owners who work for a living. That’s when a central authority is needed.
The more government puts their thumb on people to induce their will in the name of order the more people reject the interference and the more chaos insues.
I love this! Makes sense. I think I experienced this same thing in the workplace.
Make no mistake. They didn't do any such thing as "letting go a little". Not one bit!
Right! Talk about major GASLIGHTING. We know what really happened.
What exactly did he mean by that?! I've watched it 3 times now and there is no conceivable way "they let go a little" during "2 weeks to flatten the curve" lol, lmao even.

Bravo. Well said, sir! 👏
My country certainly needs to learn about spontaneous order when it comes to the zoning of land; there is way too much red tape.
It's an unspoken truth that we as a society have lived with for countless generations, and in the last 100 yrs. is probably the most attacked aspect - sad to say.
This is why I love ❤️ John!! Spontaneous order rules. It's what or how people in small towns live. Rules suck, and everyone breaks the really stupid ones.
Unwritten rules are always Best
Could "spontaneous" order be also "natural" order?
It can be, and is.
No it cannot. "spontaneous order" is created by self conscious beings. "natural order" is a product of information that is always the same because of DNA. For example, humans generally help eachother in a crisis while animals and plants only survive a crisis. In fact, most animals will abandone or kill other animals to insure their own survival. This is not the case for humans although it does sometimes happen it is not the rule.
@@mattdillon4398 you've never owned a beehive, have you?
The natural ecosystem IS spontaneous order.
Even all those animals treating each other badly (by our standards) are making their own contributions toward the overall order.
Don't make the mistake of thinking that a behavior is "bad" just because we prefer not to have humans doing it to each other. Predators, parasites, and infectious bacteria are just as much a part of the ecosystem as bunnies and puppies.
In this context, I would say they're mostly the same thing.
