I've never heard him say that market forces will always make things right. I've heard him say that small government is the best way to promote and protect individual freedom. And since it's authority that is responsible for corruption, this seems like a rather rational viewpoint.Dylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13285299241632392223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714940922914584417.post-27164501542636941452011-12-08T08:57:22.371-08:002011-12-08T08:57:22.371-08:00I think his rationale is irrational.

His fallacy is not in the ethos itself (just like communism, socialism, democracy, or even a monarchy), the problem is his failure to recognize that the problem with any -ism is that they don't work out the way you want them to, and inevitably become corrupted.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02932547748512752260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714940922914584417.post-42890905920367006802011-12-07T16:04:52.210-08:002011-12-07T16:04:52.210-08:00What?
