>>> the reason for morality (justice) is to allow people to thrive as individuals and as a group. As the old ruling class has consolidated its power we see the population of western countries dying off - a sure sign of moral decadence.<<<
>>That is truly bizarre. Following that logic, increasing population is a sign of moral prudence. Bizarre.<< Yes, increasing population is a sign of moral prudence. But low and decreasing fertility is an even stronger sign of moral failure. Tell me how you propose to keep score. >>Are you saying that once a free market generates cartels, it is no longer a free market?<< No. I'm saying that there was never a free market in government services. The global suppliers of government services are an imposed cartel, not a natural cartel. But freer markets, even in a context where there is an imposed cartel of states, do produce more wealth. By extension a true free market will be much more successful than the creaky old system we have now.
