The idea of "experiments" is socialistic in nature; capitalism is based on principles. Speaking of which - has anyone here read Hoppe's "Theory of Socialism and Capitalism"? (Available online at http://www.mises.org/etexts/Soc&Cap.pdf) More to the point, does anyone know of any *counter-arguments* ? (I find it extraordinary compelling, and I believe that, since not everyone is capitalist, there might be some hidden flaw in it. Or maybe they just haven't read it. <g>) Mark
