1. For example:

a. Hong Kong (before the Chinese takeover and even now);

b. Singapore

c. Switzerland

d.  USA (albeit its getting its share of socialism - where the government is interfereing and screwing up things, i.e. the government run education, the government run health care system - Medic-aid and MediCare; the government run post office).

No wonder 30-40% of government school teachers sent their kids to private schools.  (Ouch)  What is that they know that we don't?

  1.  Free Markets are more efficient that the state determining the prices (of goods and services) and providing the most goods and services to most people (not all people).  Markets also encourage more innovation, modernization, invention, economic and technological progress that any state program.

  2.  Markets are not perfect, but they are 100 times better than the state.

  3.  A good book to read will be
"Free to Choose" by Milton Friedman or "Free to Choose" television series.

Unless there is something wrong with freedom of choice.
