“The great danger to the consumer is the monopoly -whether private or governmental. His most effective protection is free competition at home and free trade throughout the world.

Alternative sources of supply protect the consumer far more effectively than all the Ralph Naders of the world.” WorldHomeExistenceDangerSourceProtectEconomicsTradeSellsCompetitionProtectionAlternativesConsumersProtectedMonopolyFree TradeSellers Author:Milton Friedman

“Freedom is messy. In free societies, people will fall through the cracks - drink too much, eat too much, buy unaffordable homes, fail to make prudent provision for health care, and much else.

“My Prime Minister regards the economy as our highest priority and forgets that economics and ecology are derived from the same Greek word, oikos, meaning household or domain. Ecology is the study of home, while economics is its management. Ecologists try to define the conditions and principles that enable a species to survive and flourish. Yet in elevating the economy above those principles, we seem to think we are immune to the laws of nature. We have to put the ‘eco’ back into economics.” ThinkingTryingHomeSeemsLawForgetPrinciplesEconomyStudyConditionsHighestEconomicsRegardManagementSpeciesPrioritiesMinistersGreekPrimeHouseholdEcologyPrime MinisterDomainLaws Of NatureImmuneEcoElevating Author:David Suzuki
