Privatise everything.

Name: Anonymous 2008-02-09 0:50

In light of recent discoveries that the free market is the perfect economic system, we must work to privatise everything for freedom.

Unfortunately everything cannot be privatised at once since the state has made the economy and political system dependant on it's existence, thus these restrictions must be eliminated one by one before the state itself can be privatised. First would be the privatisation of state services such as education, healthcare and social security. After a few years the state should offer contracts to the private sector to fulfil roles almost exclusively monopolised by the state in the past which will include state bureaucracy aswell as minor military, emergency and law enforcement services. During the next decade or so as more and more powers are transferred to the private sector, the state should decrease in size substantially to the point where it will be feasible to privatise local government and finally the courts and central government itself.

Not >>27 here. Inflation is caused by increased circulation of a currency in an economy aswell as when more is printed.

Consider a young farmer and blacksmith who decide to put both their signatures on 100 notes as a form of currency between them. The blacksmith buys food and the farmer buys tools. As they get older they improve their trade.

One day the blacksmith makes his first plough and the farmer says "ok here's 30 notes", but the blacksmith protests "I have to pay a note per parsnip, this plough is not worth 30 parsnips more like 500 parsnips" the farmer points out "there are only 100 notes", so the blacksmith states "I will accept an IOU of 500 notes + 50 notes for the hassle, pay me 5 notes per day or I won't trust you anymore and you will never be able to afford a plough again".

The next day the blacksmith once again feels the strong urge to obtain turnips and goes to the farmer to purchase some and to his great suprise the turnips are now being sold for 2 notes per turnip. Shocked he demands an explanation from the farmer who replies "On average you by 3 turnips a day, I must make at least one note per day to cover expenses and now that I must pay you 5 notes per day I have no choice but to double the price.".
