Businesses are already encouraged to run efficiently, it's called competition. Inefficient businesses slowly lose market share until they either change their ways or go out of business. If you want to talk about efficiency, taxing corporate income at all is inefficient. Corporate income is...

The heritage foundation number is 2003 data in constant 2000 US dollars. The CIA number is an estimate for 2005. Although Nationmaster.com uses multiple sources for the information on their website, the link I posted for GDP per capita was using data from the world bank for 2004. You would...

Excuse me for giving you too much information. I hope it didn't overload your tiny brain. The data on the CIA site are estimates for 2005 base on purchasing power parity. The data from nationmaster.com is FACTUAL nominal GDP for 2004 from the World Bank. Things are very cheap in Argentina...

You obviously believe all government propaganda on blind faith,maybe you should try thinking for yourself. My mind & my eyes are open and all I see are government failures and free-market successes. If you have a modern day example to support your case I'll listen. I have many examples of...

That is where the growth is occurring in emerging markets. As governments MOVE policies TOWARD a free market model their economies experience growth and their people experience increased standards of living. As they move towards more socialist policies standards of living decline, as you agree...

First of all, keep reading that link doodoo. I already responded to hydroblunt. Imperialism was promoted by nation-states and has nothing to do with free-market principles. How does europeans slaughtering indigenous people and stealing their land equate to a free-market transaction...

I think I'll stick with the definition by an expert over a poorly written article by an anonymous high school student...or maybe you're the author and don't want anyone soiling your brilliant masterpiece. The statement that the free-market only helps the rich is pure rhetoric. Any and all...

What Is the Free Market? by Murray Rothbard The Free market is a summary term for an array of exchanges that take place in society. Each exchange is undertaken as a voluntary agreement between two people or between groups of people represented by agents. These two individuals (or agents)...

Actually there is only one that I know of, Ron Paul.

excellent articles; thanks for the links. Ron Paul is the only politician who I truly believe is actually doing his job. He would make a great president but I'm sure the republicans would never let him run. I agree with the articles but in one way the euro may actually help the world...

If you profit from the movement then your on the same side of the market. If your bidding for a 10-lot and a hedge fund comes in and wipes the book with an market offer of 5000 contracts you are underwater after trading with them. If you were short before the order, then they helped you...

The BASIS of free market principles is to do what is best for yourself and when everyone acts that way without artificially imposed impediments everyone prospers. So China as a country is embracing free-market principles by doing what's best for themselves. Your perspective on the free...

That is most certainly NOT the contention of the original article. Did you even read the article or did you just read the title? The article explains how the supposedly free-market reforms failed because they weren't truly a free market reforms,but more big government.

Any time two entities do business without being coerced to do say they have engaged in free trade, even if the business transactions are highly regulated. They freely chose to do business with each other. Communist China has opened up to foreign direct investments. And businesses are...

Let me try again. In the past, China was isolated. Now they are a major trading partner with most of the world. Where did that growth come from? Was it internal? I think not. It would be interesting to know how much of that 10% growth was due solely to foreign direct investment...

China used to be completely isolated. The Chinese economy is far from open, but it is more open now in 2006 than it was in the past. The process of opening up, however slow, creates growth. Do you understand this time or do you need me to draw a picture? Are you trying to suggest the...

Yes I have heard of China. Do you know how they are acheiving that growth? It's because they have been opening their previously closed economy and embracing capitalism. By the way, Hong Kong is the #1 most free economy. You are absolutely wrong. You fail to realize that the problems you...

See The whole article here: http://www.theadvocates.org/liberator/vol-11-num-4.html#GBU " The free market did not fail in South America. What did fail is what always fails -- government intervention in the economy in the form of widespread protectionism, politically motivated loans, and...
