I stopped reading at 'lawless'. This absurd idea that laws can only come from codified Government dictums is laughable. Only someone hardcore in their delusions would possibly think that laws can only be handed down by Governments. You obey implicit laws on a daily basis. You're probably polite in public, and you hold doors for people behind you. These are all laws in the Hayekian sense, and there's no reason why these same types of laws can't govern our economy. I realize it's futile arguing with someone who basically admitted they are trolling, but it needs to be said.
There's actually a very good reason. You can't enforce and prosecute offenders of implict, unstated laws, because you have nothing solid to point to and make an objective judgment.
What I was hinting at, was self-regulation. Being polite in public and holding doors for people is self-regulation that we all engage in. That's because there are incentives and disincentives in our culture. If we made it culturally advantageous to run a completely honest business, then more people would do it. Our current culture is apathetic and uneducated. A free market economy would only happen if consumers were more involved and more knowledgeable, but this idea that Government can effectively regulate is entirely bunk. Implicit cultural laws already regulate businesses in some aspects, and there's no reason why it can't completely take over. The reason why corporations get away with what they do now is because people don't care. If you want to fix corporations, you need to fix the culture, but I reject this idea that regulation is going to fix anything. We have more and more pages of new regulation passed every year, and things never change, and in fact, they get worse.
Wanna know why? The cost to comply with laws and regulations emboldens super corporations and creates barriers to entry for smaller businesses. Regulations actually make big corporations like Walmart even bigger, because the onslaught of new regulations make it impossible to compete with Walmart, because unlike Walmart, their competitors can't afford to staff an army of lawyers and accountants. Walmart can. Regulation doesn't work.
