JA Westenberg"The free market will sort it out" the free market sorted out child labour by saying yes please and we had to pass a law. That's how the free market sorts things out.
Dwampre Scorrigank@Daojoan Free market economics as a concept is inherently an evolution-worshipping theory. The idea that the market simply naturally grows into the best shape as long as we don't ever interfere in it is essentially saying we trust the processes of evolution to always produce "best". When TARP was in the news I saw explicit references to evolutionary processes – namely, that bailouts would support weak businesses that "should" be culled out by natural selection (not that I agree with TARP per se)
The concept of evolution-worship, or at least excessive trust in evolution, can be extended to other ideologies as well. Essentially: as long as we fix this one thing, everything else will work itself out. Of course, it's not wrong to focus your efforts on whatever your job is in fixing the system, and prioritize primary fixes that enable other fixes. But make sure you don't assume those primary fixes are the *only* thing that needs assessment, repair, and maintenance. Problems are not simple.
