If people are born poor or disabled, they are already at disadvantage. How do you solve this? Anna ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, November 17, 2005 11:49 AM Subject: vast inequality Re: [Libertarian] Magical Capitalism?
The "problem" of inequality? Since when is that a problem? People are not equal. Some are born poor, some are born crippled, some are born into priviledge. They should be free to go as far as their talents, abilities, and ingenuity can get them. They should have equality of opportunity and no other way. --- In [email protected], "Anna" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > This is interesting and important what you wrote.

What needs perhaps be done is to take the best from every known system and see how it could be incorporated in a new model of society based on libertarian ideals. > Anna > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Deus Ex Machina > To: [email protected] > Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2005 8:40 PM > Subject: Re: vast inequality Re: [Libertarian] Magical Capitalism? > > > Urmas J??rve [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >Under a truly free economic system capital difference could > >actually be smaller since there would not be any incentives created by the state to not > >have people working. > > this is actually not true. the degree of inequality is related to the > network effects and the diferentiation between competiting choices. > > for example links between web sites represents what people consider > worth pointing to. this is a power law distribution, ie very very > unequal. even though there might be only minor differences between the > perceived value of choices. > > small differentiation amongst choices are amplified by the network effects > of society and lead to vast difference of unequal outcomes. > > there is a very strong relationship between inequality of outcome and > freedom. the greatest inequality occurs under the maximum freedom. > > the entire point of socialism is to prevent that inequality of outcome. > > where socialism becomes mandatory force is inevitable, where socialism > is voluntary, inequality eventually undermines or tears the structure apart. > > Vic > > > > > > ForumWebSiteAt http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian > > > > SPONSORED LINKS E government Libertarian E government strategy > Libertarian party E government procurement > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > YAHOO!
