Document Summary
An overview: study of the state and the market, some societies rely on state allocation of goods, others rely on market bases to provide economic and political products. In most democratic countries, we have a market based economy: but in democratic countries, the labourers are supposed to have more power, different mixes of state and markets, asses capabilities to change things. Australia you have to vote or you will be fined, in canada you are not forced. People who are willing to live in imperfect states. Believe that you need the state to regulate the economy but the states role should only be for the market purpose: neo conservative equality of opportunity. Highly opposed to the quality of outcomes. Would say that minimum wage laws are a bad idea. Against progressive taxation think everyone should be taxed at the same rate: social programs are necessary to ensure that society runs smoothly.
