Now some of them do, obviously, and I’m against that. I’m in favor of reason over whim. As far as I’m concerned, and I think the rest of the movement, too, we are anarcho-capitalists. In other words, we believe that capitalism is the fullest expression of anarchism, and anarchism is the fullest expression of capitalism. Not only are they compatible, but you can’t really have one without the other. True anarchism will be capitalism, and true capitalism will be anarchism.","author":"Murray N.

Instead of health care, companies decide to offer employees shoes. Having absorbed those costs, they later lobby for every company to be required to offer shoes. That calls forth regulation and monopolization of the shoe industry. Shoes are heavily subsidized. Every shoe must be approved. Producers must be domestic. They must adhere to a certain quality. They can't discriminate based on foot size or individual need. Prices rise, and some people lack shoes, so the Affordable Shoe Act forces everyone to buy into an official shoe plan or pay a fee. Here we have a perfect plan for making shoes egregiously expensive. The entire country would be consumed with the fear of being shoeless if they lose their job. The left wing calls for a single shoe provider to offer universal shoes and the right wing meekly suggests that shoe makers be permitted to sell across state lines.Meanwhile, libertarians suggest that we just forget the whole thing and let the market make and deliver shoes of every quality to anyone from anyone. Everyone screams that this is an insane and dangerous idea.","author":"Jeffrey Tucker","tags":["anarcho-capitalism","anarchy","coercion","collectivism","communism","economics","free","free-markets","freedom","government","interference","laissez-faire","law","libertarian","liberty","markets","monopoly","non-aggression-principle","politics","regulations","socialism","statism","trade","voluntaryism"],"id":36731,"author_id":"Jeffrey+Tucker"},{"text":"There is no friendship in trade.","author":"Cornelius Vanderbilt","tags":["trade "],"id":46689,"author_id":"Cornelius+Vanderbilt"},{"text":"Man has rights because they are natural rights.
