[QUOTE="teodord, post: 3242771, member: 142836"] Well first, there have been loads of little one liners all the throughout this thread, and I think this has been my first one. I can understand your frustration if im assuming correctly, those who have a differing view to yourself (vice Jorvik) seem to run out of steam very fast, thinking Bear etc, when confronted with the arguments you have put over. My mantra has been pro-free market, anti gold standard current on current market conditions. On the first page I had quoted Milton Friedman were he referred to Britain as socialist in its economic policies, to which some very smart cookie posted "if you think Britain is socialist your deluded" sigh This post Ah the great lie. No the problem is that the market should not be allowed to decide anything. The people should determine the shape and form of society including commerce, government and law. If you leave these things to market forces you place all power in to the hands of the most ruthless and you get the perpetual bang and bust cycles.

Big Business. Why does the media keep telling you that government interference destroys the economy, well, because it is owned by Big Business. Big Business is only looking out for the interests of it's shareholders. It doesn't care about society, human rights or environment. It cares about it's stock price and how happy it's shareholders are and quite rightly too. However, you don't want to allow that view to shape the rest of your society because business is not life. In fact the way we are doing business now it fundamentally anti-life. The Bear. Which was the most "liked" single post was shown to be nothing but populist dribble, by many posts of argument on economics that is, including yours, but the responses have dried up once it gets passed populist quips.
