I tell you to give me an example where producers ARE NOT SUBSIDIZED and where governments DO NOT manipulate trade, and what do you do, you go to the MOST SUBSIDIZED and MOST CORRUPTED industry in the country.
How did I miss this gem.
How did I miss this gem.
Also, the recent financial crisis was caused by deregulation of banks, allowing them to become "too big to fail."
This financial crisis wasn't because of "deregulation", the government used regulation in order to force banks to lend out money to people with the promise of being repaid. Otherwise, why the hell would a company make the risks that they did? This is called a Ponzi Scheme, a lot of politicians got broke off.
And yours truly predicted the crash 5 years before it happened.

What about the repeal of Glass-Steagall and the conflicts of interested/gigantic financial institutions that were created?
Simply put, you could have said that for anything. And knowing you, you would have. That was a single example of the free market being outperformed by government institutions in other countries.

You didn't give me an example of the Free Market being outperformed, you gave me something I told you not to. I told you not to give me an example where producers were not subsidized and where the government does not manipulate the exchange of goods. Then you post a chart of an industry where the market is heavily subsidized, and where the market of exchange is controlled by the government. So, I will ask you again. Give me an example where the Free Market was outperformed by the government.

What would be pragmatic? Being complacent to Statists?
I believe in voluntary associations and exchange, what's wrong with that?

Other than it being completely unrealistic, relying on the goodness of those with capital only and leading to monopolies? Absolutely nothing.
I'm not getting into it with you on your other question. Free market capitalism got us into the mess we're in now, and it is only widening the gap between the classes and essentially wiping out the middle class. But please, believe otherwise and continue to live in your economic bubble.

That's why it's hard to debate with the dude. There's a reason Hayek didn't make much headway in his career and Keynes did. Yea, I know he won a Nobel but I'm talking about policy. The former's ideas are incompatible with human nature while the latter panders to it. A positive medium can exist.
Deregulation was a big reason for the crisis. Ever read Bill Black? Government had a big hand in it too, of course.

*wakes up and wipes eyes* is this 1988? or 2008? because I'm not sure which... How about we just either declare he will never get elected (because MOST people find him to be a joke), or we state the obvious that this idealist will be a failure of epic proportions...
There literally is a better chance for Trump to get elected..
