New You are assuming he agrees
that the economy should be unregulated - "you can't command the economy".

Agreeing with the enumeration of problems doesn't mean agreement with the prescription.

Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

New And that was a bad assumption
Particularly since in [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=229533|http://z.iwethey.org...?contentid=229533] I said that I don't agree with his prescription.

Cheers,
Ben

New Nope...
That was my snide way of pointing out that your "don't disagree" was the opposite of what I'd said.

New My "don't disagree?"
From the post you linked to:
"I don't disagree with his prescription (markets have different sets of failures), but I agree with his diagnosis"

The post you linked from said:
"I don't agree with his prescription"

Soooo... Which is it? Do you agree or disagree with his prescription?
