RE: The Conservative Party, Capitalism, Millennials & Morality
Choice is good, but in a lot of cases people just get to choose between different corporations who will try to exploit them. I think some regulation is required, but it should not be too heavy-handed. We never seem to get the right balance.
Well with choice goes responsibility. Personally I do not wish the state to take those decisions for me. State regulation is based on the assumption that the state is benign, all knowing, wise, etc, etc. I actually think it is a protection racket which enforces its will through its monopoly on violence. I would rather trust the spontaneous order of the free market than the gentleman in Whitehall.
Maybe I will post on this.
