What about a mostly free market domestically, but limited economic internationalism (since I think globalism is a sovereignty stealing scam), a basic income (partly as a way to say “that’s it, you get nothing else. Spend it wisely” so as to avoid entitlement culture and single motherhood subsidizing), good immigration based on a points system?
And utilities and infrastructure done by the government.
I do not believe in a mostly free market. The capitalist must be regulated or the whole marketplace just gets turned over to sociopaths. In any industry, you would have a “choice” between:
- Scumbags R’ Us
- Criminals Incorporated
- The Devil Himself Ltd.
- Worldwide Sociopathic Enterprises, LLC.
- Evil Scum Industries
- Ted Bundy’s Spawn Corporation
They would all be headquartered in Panama or Cyprus so they not liable under any US laws.
Boy, that’s a Hell of a choice, ain’t it! Pick your poison.
There would not even be one decent company that was not trying to maximally screw its workers, consumers, the environment or society.
In an unregulated marketplace, evil drives out good every day of the week.
