    One must remember that think-tanks like IEA and the IPA in the UK and Australia work for the interests of the elite through such institutions as Hayek's "Mont Pelerin Society" and the elites’ global “Atlas Network”. This is a coordinate effort to infiltrate politics around most of the planet and implement Austrian-economic policies that benefit the elite. They will give you a simple example of a local baker who may benefit briefly from their policies, but the real intent is to create monopolies through privatization and deregulation, and strip wealth from the majority. In a monopoly you have no market and that is their intent; after all, remember the words of Rockefeller, "Competition is a Sin". Notice how monopoly legislation is now either irrelevant or has been removed; this was their intent all along. This was all part of the pre-Reagan era's "Powell Memorandum”; a how-to guide on how to screw the American people. This has been in the planning by the elites for decades; it can be traced back to their response to Roosevelt's New Deal (1933) and the elites' response by such early think-tanks as National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) and the American Liberty League (the precursor to the contemporary Libertarian movement). But the treachery against the American people really got going after Nixon nominated Powell for the US Supreme Court (1971) and then Reagan implemented Reaganomics (Friedman's von Mises policies). Now we live in a growing monopolistic world by design (thanks to deregulation, privatization, and lowering taxes on corporations and the wealthy) where the only winners are the elites. Friedman's old "Trickle Down" and "Laffer Curve" scams have impoverished most Americans and because the majority now has trouble consuming to the level necessary to maintain this Ponzi scheme, the approaching faltering economy is of concern to the elite who implemented this scam. Without wealth redistribution (which isn't going to happen), the elites see no alternative than to knock over the chessboard and take us to war. Just in case you haven't worked it out by now, the Libertarian movement works for the elites; they only talk the "non-intervention" talk as an enticer to get some well-meaning gullibles to join their cause. They have spent decades working alongside the Wall Street marketers to sell you on this Austrian-economic scam. When a Libertarian espousing Austrian economics talks about "freedom, prosperity, and liberty", they mean financial "prosperity" for the elites; the "liberty" to do as the elites wish to do, and the legislative "freedom" to screw you six ways from Sunday. I do enjoy the irony of Hayek's book "Road to Serfdom". That’s techno serfdom (e.g. rising costs, corporate owned government, surveillance, no freedom of speech, militarized police) for you!

  • @randalltilander6684
    @randalltilander6684 5 дней назад +5

    So the reason why healthcare is generally worse under private enterprise is that private enterprise requires a market price. A market price requires a free interplay between economic agents. That free place between market agents does not exist in a hospital. When you are doubled up with appendicitis, you are not in a position to negotiate. There is no market price.
    Similarly, with water and electricity, there is no competition therefore no competitive pricing. If I don’t like the price of the hydro, I can’t go anywhere else. There is only run power line in front of my house. There is only one pipe coming in from the water main. I can’t take my business to another supplier. So there is no market price for monopoly services.
    There are places for private business. And there are places where private business is not appropriate.

    What is a free market? A market free of government interference? That's the definition we've accepted since roughly 1880. Before this time, the accepted definition of a free market was 180 degrees reversed from the current definition. A free market was universally understood as a market heavily regulated by government in order to prevent the wealthiest citizens from using their wealth to game the system and funnel all the wealth to themselves. In fact, this earlier definition was exactly the definition put forth in The Wealth of Nations, by Adam Smith. So, how did the definition get stood on its head? How did it become its opposite? Simple. The wealthiest citizens, the Robber Barrons of the Gilded Age, later examples of those Smith called The Masters of Mankind, gamed the system and funneled all the wealth into their own pockets and proceeded to buy up all the media of the day, newspapers and magazines, and also proceeded to contribute to schools and education, all in order to control the conversation. They were then able to create a definition of a free market which served their interests. This definition continues to serve the interests of the current Masters of Mankind in this, our current Gilded Age. Perhaps it's time to re-examine Adam Smith and that original notion of what a free market should look like.

    Anyone else wonder whether a “Central Bank Digital Currency” would be a “back door” to policies that have some of the characteristics of a “planned economy” ? I speak of a “digital currency” the ability to use which would be tied to satisfying certain conditions. Not something I would in any way want but if we’re in the last days of fiat currencies then it seems logical - from the point of view of “power hungry Govts.” - to go down that road 😱.

    Our largest «plan» is the asymmetry between legal economic subjects - the (individual) *person* vs the *incorporated body.*
    Ref. Stiglitz et al, Nobel laureates of 2001. In the end, this is a political-economic outcome of legislation, as described by i.e. K. Pistor.
    I seriously don’t think one needs to «be a socialist» to criticize the outcome of our actual legislation, and changes implemented across OECD through the last five decades.
    The critique is already rampant across the board, and at the moment «socialists» can’t be regarded as successfully converting it into political power. The «socialist worker’s» narrative is deprecated, replaced by individualism as the societal norm.
    The general global north situation seems akin to Italy, Germany or Japan a century ago - but this time not «isolated» to national or local economies, due to the transnational corporate and macroeconomic legislative shifts emerging _half_ a century ago.
    In turn, the right converts the public’s outrage into power - but not against the corporate realm, by which the right is supported from tradition.
    Rather, the outrage is channeled outwards, to real or imagined externalities and forces - away from our own (!) legislative power to change internal economic or ecological relations.
    We know - intellectually as well as intuitively - the dangers of this rather nationalistic path. Still, any idealism to counter it cannot be realised from an individualistic viewpoint.
    There we are, I guess - a _collective of individuals…?_ Hegel must have a field day, but he’s alone too…😅

    This old propaganda didn't age well - state owned and operated services have been able to do quite well, from post offices to healthcare. Privatization has poisoned the rivers of the UK, left thousands of Americans dying every year from ungiven healthcare, and has continued the near-global housing crisis. It's easy to see how plans for economies can do better in a number of areas.
    Thatcher was a butcher, and there's a reason she was a fan of these ideas. To hamstring collective efforts for needs-meeting while enriching private entities for their mutual corrupt benefit.

      Well said. On top, all these "mainstream" economists that love "free markets" just gloss over any fact that is contrary to their views:
      1. China - the most successful, long-term planned economy in the world. It beat the US growth rate decades in a row.
      2. Norway, Monaco, the Arab world, etc. are strongly managed
      3. Mainstream economic thought is unable to model even the possibility of a recession, not to mention being able to read the signs. The economy always tends towards equilibrium, in their view. Any imbalance is externally caused.
      4. Just look at the US, it is slowly turning into Ferenginar (Star Trek reference)
