"Protectionism, by definition and design, makes goods rarer and more expensive. The Money-Maker[by contrast] makes goods abundant and affordable, not conserving the incompetent at the expense of the competent." #QotD

"Protectionism, by definition and design, makes goods rarer and more expensive. The Money-Maker[by contrast] makes goods abundant and affordable, not conserving the incompetent at the expense of the competent."
~ Bruce Andrew, summarising a point from  Ayn Rand's talk on 'The Money-Making Personality,' which implicitly rejects the fallacies of protectionism

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
