Last response to Enrico

Below is the final response to Ernico's great questions.  We've determined to meet face to face and talk about all the aforementioned matters.

Enrico,

You mentioned Capitalism and Freedom. Friedman discusses "technological monopolies" wherein the physical restraints of railroads and airports restricts open competition in an otherwise free market. According to him this leaves us the "choice between evils" of government monopoly, private monopoly, or collusion of government and business. 

Seems fair but historically has been the gateway and excuse to impose noxious anti freedom government central planning. I have high regard for Friedman and his life work but he does defer a lot to government force. (government force is a redundant phrase, like saying mammal hair.) Capitalism and Freedom is well worth reading. 

Sorry so choppy and pithy. I'm on my BlackBerry on a plane.

Reading Rose W. Lane's The Discovery of Freedom. Great book
