Ebook: The Case for Big Government

Yet another screed against free markets. It's too bad that the average rant of this variety neglects that we haven't had free markets for a very long time. What could be more important to a so-called "free market" than the price of money? In order for a free market to exist, interest rates would need to float freely, not be set by the Fed. The Fed "sets" (translation: rigs) interest rates which causes economic dislocations and malinvestment. What we've had is crony capitalism and rigged markets for large corporations and the Federal Reserve Banks. Government isn't the solution - individuals need to keep what they earn so that they don't need to borrow money and be played by banks and vote-buying politicians.
