I'd like to hear the author's definition of a Statist in the context of financial markets because Totalitarians are also Statists.
CRM114,
"Statist" and "libertarian" are, for the purposes of this thread, essentially opposite terms. Using them interchangeably in this article would have rendered the article senseless.
The author generalized the dating "market" in economic terms and showed how it functions nicely without supervision from the state. He then asks why can't other markets also function smoothly without the hectoring and tutoring of agents of the state.
