it's pretty awesome when your yearly review meeting makes you feel even awesomer

^^^ What sort of hypothetical form of government are you proposing that costs nothing and doesn't influence the market? It sounds a lot like anarchism, at least.

10/24/2008 11:04:52 AM

In laissez-faire capitalism, the gov't has no regulatory power over the market. It's only function are to protect its citizens from force or fraud imposed by internal or external sources. A police force, military, and the courts would be maintained to protect citizens from robbery, libel, murder, and other nations threatening to nuke us.

I sure hope putting my neck out that far doesnt get my head cut off

Laws in any form are ultimately market regulation and government in any form is going to cost money to sustain. If a given behavior is illegal, that forces the associated market underground, limits economies of scale while integrating a risk cost into the value of the goods. There's also the industry of enforcement, which requires tools and equipment for every variety of enforcement they engage in, and these tools and equipment are procured via the market. Even taxes divert your resources from the free market. If you can name a few laws that require no resources to enforce, or provide an example of a structure of government that requires no funding to maintain, I'll yield the point

"Laws in any form are ultimately market regulation"

If economics is a voluntary trade of goods, then murder, thievery and defacing property are not trading goods but the destruction of goods, thus they are not economic activities. Therefore, making these things illegal protects the rights of individuals.

Laws of some varieties do not regulate markets, unless you think there is a "murder market" or "rape market".

i don`t wanna go to the grocery store or do dishes

i`mma take a nap

10/24/2008 11:39:37 AM

I am pretty sure there is, in fact, a murder market. At least, you can definitely purchase a murder.

10/24/2008 11:39:37 AM

10/24/2008 11:40:55 AM

Do you think there *should* be a murder market?

Capitalism isn't just about markets. It's about protecting individual rights, which includes protecting people from being killed, raped, or stolen from.

10/24/2008 11:41:05 AM

I don't really care either way if there is a murder market. I would not participate more than likely, but there are certainly those who would. Laws and enforcement haven't stopped murder for hire, or even uncompensated murders from occuring. We have some insanely ridiculous fraction of our population in prisons, the largest in the world, while there are still neighborhoods in DC, the seat of our federal government, that the police are afraid to patrol. Wasted resources diverted from the more efficient free market.
