Document Summary
Could base camping trip on market exchanges but people would hate that and prefer the first type on the grounds of efficiency and fellowship. People are drawn to socialist ideal in restricted settings. A lot of people think capitalism is selfish, greedy, and immoral, but they"re wrong it is economically and morally superior because it calls for voluntary actions. Money as proof you"ve served your fellow man. People claim capitalism is a zero-sum game, but its actually a positive-sum game. The government creates zero-sum games, not the free market. When the government interferes it takes the power away from people and give its to companies who couldn"t compete in the free market. Free market system can only work if there is listed government limited government with only a few enumerated powers. Limited government produced the wealthiest nation in history people drive the economy. Spheres of justice by michael walzer p. 821-829.
