re: Uber and Lyft Are The Arguments to turn (Social) Liberals to Libertarians

I'm glad the discussion about rent seekers and the stresses of technology on the modern economy came together in this thread.

I beleive the name of the game will be hyper specialized goods and services and that will require much easier entry and exit into small business and using the sharing economy for other sources of income. The goal should be the democratization of business and coporations.

Instead the old thinking governments do all they can to protect the big established players who'd rather not have more competition. So much for the free market right? Small Business and the agility to attack niche markets will be the backbone of the 21st century economy whereas manufacturing drove the 20th century. It's one place where the government certainly should and won't get out of the way.
