He told us they need the government to a) create, define and enforce property rights, b) ensure markets function and c) ensure market participants can have enough confidence to transaction in said markets.<br /><br />His position is basically a claim that property rights and markets were invented by wise kings, and that wise government policy makers can keep improving the invention. I'm not sure how a more one sided, not to mention implausible presentation could be made.David Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12270742541175771322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5404820640426099135.post-62347512624508137612008-02-13T04:27:00.000+13:002008-02-13T04:27:00.000+13:00Great stuff!Great stuff!Eric Cramptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15831696523324469713noreply@blogger.com
