RE: How Can Libraries Be Funded Voluntarily, Without Taxation?

in #books8 years ago

That's not how economies work. Sorry. I would need to create a whole new post deconstructing all the problems with your comment's premises.

  1. People act in order to achieve ends.
  2. Consumption requires prior production
  3. Prices inform producers about the desires of consumers
  4. Scarcity is a fact of nature, but shortages are a consequence of coercion.
  5. Poverty is the natural state of humanity, and only the market process has allowed mass decentralized cooperation to alleviate this.
  6. Markets do not preclude charity or communal organization, and government redistribution is theft rather than charity even if it calls itself by another name.
  7. Declining to make a gift or exchange is not aggression.
  8. Warehouses only overflow with goods because of the market process. Communism creates shortages every time, without exception.
