Can you show me a single society that has evolved out of the stone age without gov’t regulation of one sort or another?
I’m not saying that every gov’t reg is necessary. I’m not saying that the FDA is always right, or that mattress manufacturers need regulating.
What I am saying is that at some level, a certain amount of gov’t regulation is economically efficient. In fact- the rule of law is essential to allowing humans to coexist as a society. Look at the book of Leviticus– it is nothing more than 30-40 pages of regulations specifying things like what happens if my cow dies while plowing your field.
As for challenging my belief system– show me any working example of a society without gov’t regulations, and then we can start talking.
Libertarianism is a lot like communism– great in theory but it just doesn’t work in the real world.
