Given that and the horrid record that capitalism has for failing to short-term solutions when problems poke their omnipresent heads, I would go for the government role in creating logical regulations for corporate behavior, and regulations that allow for self-certification if associated with mandatory in-house training (in the field and in the ethics of holding the standard) plus mandatory outside inspections. Much like what Robert enumerated, but well into the ISO 9001 mentality.
As far as your simpering attempt to excuse your ridiculous try at cleverness while bashing Robert, give it up. Neither the bashing nor the excuse create your desired effect. Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.

So maybe you get what I mean by market enhancing regulations vs market destroying regulations. If it is to overcome asymmetrical information for consumers then some could be actually beneficial. Of course it could also become an undue burden to small businesses.
As far as "the horrid record that capitalism has", by what standard are you judging it? It seems that all human endeavors are not 6 sigma no matter how much we live in that Utopian world. How did the alternative system work out?
As far as bashing, ask Robert what he thinks of Economists and Libertarians. Rutherfordian ------------------------------ RDRutherford
