FORCIBLE REDISTRIBUTION IS MISSED OPPORTUNITY FOR EXCHANGE
Forcible redistribution via taxation deprives us of the ability to ask for something in exchange for our earnings.
What we would most often like in exchange are conformity to norms (predictability of signals), and social status (reward).
If redistribution is politically necessary to prevent friction in politics, but undesired by the population, then the government needs to be broken up.
The reason being that governments that act on the behalf of constituencies can negotiate trade policy to effectively form redistribution from those who DESIRE to trade with others, versus those that do not.
Conformity is how we prefer to determine whether someone has access to our market. However, if they do not conform, that does not mean that they cannot extract from us something that we wish to give them in exchange for granting us access to THEIR market.
It isnt necessarily mandatory that governments possess a monopoly over territory. Collective trade bargaining can be conducted by currency differences. But only if currency is entirely digital – so that we can make use of many of them.
Technology makes interesting political options available to us today,t he same way that the invention of money made new political options available in the past.
It’s fascinating.
