"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Corporations Versus the Market; or, Whip Conflation Now
Submitted by William Muller on Mon, 2008-11-10 17:00
?Defenders of the free market are often accused of being apologists for big business and shills for the corporate elite. Is this a fair charge? No and yes. Emphatically no?because corporate power and the free market are actually antithetical; genuine competition is big business's worst nightmare. But also, in all too many cases, yes ?because although liberty and plutocracy cannot coexist, simultaneous advocacy of both is all too possible.?
