The Great Chinese Takeaway

The Free Market is always superior to top down government and political actions.
ReplyDeleteWe are very pleased to announce the creation of The Free Market Hall of Fame where members of the Freedom Movement will have the opportunity to initially vote on individuals contributing most to the success and advancement of free markets and free people around the globe during 2007.
Nominations for the Free-Market Hall of Fame are open to the public and can be made by anyone by e-mailing ron@freedomfest.com Individuals can vote for or nominate individuals who they believe should be in the Free Market Hall of Fame. Write-ins are permitted.
The categories will include the following:

3. Business leaders
4. Legislators and government officials
5. Think tanks
A select group of economists and other free-market supporters will make the final decision and vote on upcoming Hall of Fame members.

ReplyDeleteOther than Westminster Villagers and academic or pseudo-academic cranks, I've never met a Tory voter who wasn't a Keynsian and a Beveridgite to the core, just so long as he got his own slice of the cake. Farm subsidies are the most obvious example. And why not?
Meanwhile, the fringe, but unfortunately hugely influential, opposite view is just as common among Labour Westminster Villagers and academic or psuedo-academic cranks.
