Entry: Ron Paul versus the PC Brigade: A Strange Silence From the Beltway Boys Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/ron_paul_versus_the_pc_brigade_a_strange_silence_from_the_beltway_boys#14813 Post contents: Hello, Rick You discovered a fact about the free market: It is an amoral construct. Not immoral, amoral. It needs to be informed of ethics before it can be trusted. One example, the free market can tell us how much to pay for the services of a child prostitute,but not whether or not this should be bought or sold. Likewisie with hit men setting their fees in the free market. We are talking about things which should never be bought or sold, but the market itself has no way of knowing that (Also, the market is not very good at determining if what you are selling is legitimately yours to sell. Most people when they snap up a bargain do not wonder if these are stolen goods or not - they assume not, and they may be wrong). Sent at: 2008 09 07
