The Internet Is A Perfect Example of How a Free Market Would and Does Work (Working Towards Being Free)

In today's article at Next!, TDV's Jeff Berwick holds up the internet as a perfect example of how a free market should work. I agree with him. The problem, of course, is that governments everywhere are drooling over how they can best regulate and tax commerce on the internet.

The free market, even in supposed bastions of capitalism like the United States and Canada has been AWOL for decades. We have instead, Crony Capitalism where you succeed in large part due to courting favour by contributing to election campaigns, filling out countless government forms and applications, complying with sometimes truly idiotic regulations, paying for licences and of course giving up a large percentage of your income through taxation.

We can only hope that free, co-operative, mutually beneficial transactions between or among participants will become a full reality again -- even if the commercial activity is in services and goods that don't meet your personal approval. Someday. Maybe even in our lifetime. I won't hold my breath, though.

Join us at Anarchapulco (a confereence of anarcho-capitalists in Acapulco, Mexico) between February 24th and March 1st, 2015. Click on the banner in the article linked below below for more information. I will be one of the speakers at the conference. My topic:

Keeping Secrets (Shhhhh . . .)

Any successful business has information that should be closely guarded. Most certainly things like customer lists and pricing systems should beprotected. Internal systems that improve efficiency and communicationsshould also be shielded from competitors and outsiders. Confidential employee and management information must be kept from anyone not authorized to access and use it.

How do we do all that? Are those all the things we need to keep secret?

Mark Borkowski explains, for us in today's Next! article, why secrecy is so important and how we should protect our proprietary information.
