You will often here people say that free markets have been discredited, as they sip cups of coffee while sitting on chairs, wearing clothes, and checking text messages – each of which was supplied by hundreds, thousands of producers whose beautifully coordinated collaboration was unplanned but achieved by ‘market forces’.
-Matt Ridley ( The Evolution of Everything)
Frankly, Statists say that only when the Market doesn’t deliver outcomes that THEY believe correct – and then use the Force of Government to demand it.
Because they are too lazy to go out into the Market using their own money and time to show that it can be done – they fear the risk.
