    (Via Alex Tabarrok )

    —“We are on the right track but unfortunately the job wasn’t completed. We are a country in the European Community which has the biggest public sector in Europe. And all of us in the private sector spend millions to support the situation. So the only way that Greece can become a true Western country…is to make these reforms.…Look the main problem in this country is the public sector. There is no other problem. Entrepreneurs here are very, very competitive. We have to let this thing, this monster that we call the public sector, it has to go, it has to finish. This is the main issue.”—- a greek entrepreneur.

  • Inequality is a Good

    [I]nequality is a good. In evolves man. Invention is a good. In increases our ability to consume. If we were all equal, we would have nothing to trade. And we would be poor. As are extant people who are in practice equal. To create an economy to sustain man we must create equality constantly. To create humans that evolve man, we must create equality constantly. Equality = stasis = extinction.

    WE HAVE FAILED TO CREATE A MARKET FOR COMMONS

    (from elsewhere) (division of perception)

    I usually argue that our moral biases reflect our reproductive strategies. And that together, we form an intertemporal division of reproductive perception, cognition, knowledge, negotiation, and labor. And by exchanges of cooperation we exchange information, just as by exchanging goods and services we exchange information, just as by the result of our exchanges for goods and services we create prices which inform us to one another’s demands.

    While we have succeeded in creating a market for goods and services, we have failed to create a market for commons. As such we have constructed no equivalent of the pricing system to tell us what is in fact in demand.

  • TRADITIONAL FAMILY CENTERED LIFE Work is Worse Here. Life Is Better Here. Income

    TRADITIONAL FAMILY CENTERED LIFE

    Work is Worse Here. Life Is Better Here. Income Does Not Improve Happiness. It Reduces Risk, and Provides Signals. Redistribution of Signals is to do to the gene pool what Keynesianism does to the economy: disinformation.

    We have, with our passion for dysgenia, overburdened the planet. With two technologies: antibacterials and hydrocarbons.

    Democracy(corporate government) is an objectively dysgenic system of government, and aristocracy (private government) is an objectively eugenic system of government.

    —“Trust is not sentimental value. It is a measure of the complexity of economic and social relations that can be constructed given the transaction costs that impede them.”—
