#RoarkCapital , which is named after the ‘#LoneWolf ‘ hero Howard Roark in #AynRand ‘s fictional ode to #LaissezFaire capitalism, “The Fountainhead”, has purchased the #Subway sandwich chain. 👉 https://www.cnbc.com/2023/08/24/subway-sells-to-dunkin-owner-roark-capital.html

Would you like a side of hypocritical #Objectivism with your roast beef footlong?

@DavidKnestrick So your ‘plan’ for addressing #ClimateChange is to keep doing what we’ve been doing for over two centuries and let the #FossilFuels fat cats remain in control of changes to #GlobalClimate ? 🤷🏻‍♂️

#LaissezFaire isn’t a plan, it’s a cop-out!

@Jdreben By the way, if you agree with the above reductio ad absurdum and also:
• people have the right to the products of their own mind and effort, bootstrapped or not
• and that includes the right to freely trade them with others for things they value
…then you’ve just worked out the principle behind #LaissezFaire #capitalism. But that’s not very fashionable in artistic circles for some reason 😉

"Wer bei mir Führung bestellt bekommt sie auch"?

Leider hat Herr #Scholz vermieden zu erwähnen, welchen Führungsstil er meint.

Er arbeitet nach dem #LaissezFaire Prinzip: wenig eingreifen, viel laufen lassen, wenig Verantwortung übernehmen.

#LaissezFaire ist nicht unbedingt schlecht - aber auch nur, wenn ein Team selbständig und kooperativ arbeitet. Sonst entsteht oft ein Führungsvakuum, das durch Teammitglieder gefüllt werden muss. Ergebnis? Chaos, Verwirrung, Streit. Sounds familiar?#Habeck #Lindner

Im Endeffekt ist dieser Führungsstil ist in der aktuellen Situation für genau einen Menschen gut. Für Olaf Scholz. Er kann sich aus der Verantwortung ziehen. Er kann die schwierigen und unpopulären Entscheidungen anderen überlassen.

Ob er deswegen Kanzler geworden ist?

Another story of private entities gaming wealth redistribution. Once a government has compromised its citizens’ #PropertyRights, we’re left with ever-disappearing opportunities to succeed based on effort and voluntary trade. The laws that should protect us become weapons for grafters and parasites.

You don’t solve this with more economic controls. You solve this by getting the government out of the economy altogether.

@d3cline @mmasnick America is a deeply mixed economy sliding toward #socialism and has never seen full #LaissezFaire #capitalism. It is successful to the extent that the capitalist parts are begrudgingly allowed to function.

But because our culture is threaded with the #altruist moral ideal of serving others first, trade and commerce only happen because they pragmatically “work,” not because of any constitutionally inviolate recognition of the moral right to life and property.

Or maybe the answer is to get government out of commerce altogether so that industries and companies can compete fairly instead of pressing for regulatory advantages

@QasimRashid 💯 I agree completely. #LaissezFaire #capitalism for all!

Economists claim
the UK economy of 1800 was based on minimal government and #laissezfaire - even though one might be skeptical since at the time the UK operated a world wide empire. The real history is different as Brewer shows in
https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674809307
Not only did the UK government operate the worlds largest navy, procurement system, industrial plant and R&D center but it pioneered effective tax bureaucracy and debt financing to meet the costs.

I hope it's obvious to all of you by now that it's happening now, and it's hitting everywhere. It will get worse, of course, but we have entered the Age of Endless Recovery, and part of that is the endless, weary movement of people trying to find that one place where maybe they can live in peace.

This doesn't have to be our future.

@Davidtoddmccarty
There may be #conglomerate #unions that are too big and powerful. But when a #trade or #occupation is more specific (like rail workers), the power of a potential #strike is needed to keep pressure on #laissezfaire #capitalism. White collar jobs should be no exception. We saw in the late 19th and early 20th centuries (and now at #Twitter and #Amazon) what it looks like without that pressure.

A little late for #GivingTuesday, but I’ve set up an online #donation campaign for the #AynRand Institute for my upcoming birthday! Help me create a culture in which individuals are free to pursue their own happiness!
