The larger the organization, the more bureaucratic it is. Bureaucracies, in turn, are dysfunctional. The larger the bureaucracy is, the more dysfunctional it is. This is a law of nature because it is human nature for people to form bureaucracy. Since the libertarians are the only people who recognize this reality and its basis in human nature, it is reasonable to say that it is the critics of libertarianism who are willfully ignorant of human nature.kurt9https://www.blogger.com/profile/02101147267959016924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-45427156452452359482008-11-19T13:31:00.000-05:002008-11-19T13:31:00.000-05:00What was it, the 1990 edition of his textbook that...What was it, the 1990 edition of his textbook that claimed the Soviet Union proved central planning could work?<BR/><BR/>Paul is not so much with the R-square.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-65078648039111183132008-11-19T13:09:00.000-05:002008-11-19T13:09:00.000-05:00Samuelson hasn't been relevant for 20 years...and ...Samuelson hasn't been relevant for 20 years...and for the record his principles textbook sucks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-40011882872556486432008-11-19T11:16:00.000-05:002008-11-19T11:16:00.000-05:00intolerable inequalities = rampant jealousyintolerable inequalities = rampant jealousyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-17654430314293452692008-11-19T09:33:00.000-05:002008-11-19T09:33:00.000-05:00Spiegel: "Wherever [unregulated capitalism systems...Spiegel: "Wherever [unregulated capitalism systems are] tried they systematically breed intolerable inequalities." Okay, Spiegel, please name just one of these places where Unregulated Capitalism has been tried. And please take note of one of the hallmarks of UC: there will be no -- Absolutely NO -- industry lobbyists there.
