Let me clarify. The notion that the "invisible hand" is benvolent is a myth. The fact that there are some good things that come out of a free market system are not eveidence to that. There is no icentive to do what is right in a free market system only what is profitable. The the fact that our envrionmental sate is better here is due to our democratic sate. WIth out legislation U.S. Companies would have laid waste to our country. AS I pointed out with out legislation it would never have happened (womne's athletics.)
