re: Professor Javier Milei explains why the neo-classical economic model is flawed. CPAC.

If you are willing to call out contraception as one of the many causes for society's poor state than we do have much in common.

Still, you have not responded to my charge that the Capitalist proponents, without a bedrock understanding or agreement in what is ordered vs disordered, cannot fully point to there system as being the perfect way.

I have never once brought up government as the enforcing mechanism. You inferred that. I simply pointed out the ills of a system where the ties that used to bind (Catholic faith, the Christian faith, then Patriotism) all fell by the wayside as maximum efficiency was pursued.

I am not naive enough to propose that we throw out free market principles, and have stated numerous times that it is the lesser evil. You take issue with me even calling it an evil. I believe due diligence is the responsibility of both parties in an arrangement and in a system of free exchange. I question whether the system will proceed as morality erodes and the entity on the other end of an agreement or bargain is driven by greed. Others in the thread went so far as to champion greed. This is not what the Christian message or God's Church teaches.

Do I sound idealistic? Yes. I don't pretend to silo off economic activities as being benign and outside the scope of morality and religion. I am confident that the faith handed down by the Apostles agrees with ny sentiments.

I see more and more a market that disregards just actions because of both Socialist interference and Capitalist tendencies.
