Waller
    This is wonderful news!  All we have to do
    is eliminate government, then big business
    and the ultra-wealthy will be able to dictate
    all our choices to us in the fair and just
    manner that they have always tried to do.
MJ
How so?
Why would you allow them to dictate to you?

How does that relate to DiLorenzo's effort?


Waller
    Capitalism is concerned SOLEY with profit.
MJ
Actually, capitalism is an economic system without
government intervention -- you know COMPATIBLE
with anarchy.

Waller
    At least Bernard Chapin admits that... "the author
    picks and chooses historical events that best
    support his theme" which means exactly the same as
    "the author rejects and ignores all contrary data."
MJ
Not necessarily ... but the book itself will certainly tell.

There is simply no other choice than this: either
abstain from interference in the free play of the
market, or to delegate the entire management of
production and distribution to the government.
Either capitalism or socialism: there exists no
middle way. -- Ludwig von Mises
