Rick Saenz's blog is discussing Hazlitt's book Economics in One Lesson. This reminded me of related thoughts so I left this comment on Rick's site: In pondering free markets and democracy, I've wondered if the bloated bureaucracies (public and private) we have in the US are indeed what the "free" market has produced. After all, our freely elected representatives have implemented this. We say we don't like the result, but we have freely chosen it. So I'm thinking a free people will freely choose to implement complex, encumbering practices.
If our democracy is "free" then whatever exists now can only be a result of free political choices, free markets, etc. The unjust, binding, foolish system we have freely built simply proves the Proverb that "there is a way that seems right to man, but it leads only to death".
