Hi csl,
A few points:
1. Have you noticed that liberty and property are competing virtues? When you erect a fence you limit someone else's liberty. When you copy someone else's work you breach their information rights. So you seem to be tiptoeing past the contention those words entail.
2. You have entirely dispensed with the notion of public goods. You describe such activities as plundering. No freeways in csl's America? No community flu shots for those who cannot afford them (which means the virus travels to everyone)? No public charity, even when private charity fails - such as during recessions?
3. When you argue that government should get out of the way, I guess it shouldn't regulate bad behaviour such as Ponzi schemes. Caveat emptor. Such a world is a nice space for rogues to prosper, isn't it?
4. No problem for you with the abject poverty and starvation of a depression, I suppose?
I'm trying to get you to think outside your box, csl. You are a great lover of theory, which I respect. But you tend to quieten down some when your theory is taken down from the tower into the muck. How do you answer my 1 through 4?
