But ALL price/wage controls DO interfere with the natural market and step on basic individual rights if not outright causing harm.
If that's the same market that gave us the Gilded Age and the Great Depression, and if these rights include the right of the invisible hand to screw the workers, then I really don't have a problem with that.

IT does, but it does that badly: quality of life is crappy for the bottom 80-90% of the population, and there's a serious depression once in a while.


The world exists. Everything else is just a corollary.

Just an irregular Joe...
