This is a good-looking theory but in this case, as I already said a month ago
(thread "Famine and Imperialism") and previously, laissez-faire was not what was
applied. Indians were taxed into poverty and their currency was manipulated. It has
always mystified me how people still believe 19th century white propaganda.
Whether lassiez-faire is the way to heaven or to hell, this is not what the
imperialists
were spreading.
((((((((((
CB: There is no such thing as the Invisible Hand either. Just put quotes around those
two. Whatever it is called, it was the system of the imperialists.
According to you there has never been laissez-faire in the real world, so what are you
defending it for ?
