Monopoly Government – Always the Wrong Answer: GodArchy 44
Posted in : GodArchy Podcast on by : Michael Maharrey Tags: central planning, government, political philosophy
Even if Covid-19 were airborne Ebola, or something even more horrifying, centralized decisions, imposed from the top down, by people who will never have to pay for the harm they do, would STILL BE A TERRIBLE SOLUTION!!!
In the midst of a crisis, people cry for centralized government solutions. The worse the crisis, the louder the cries. But Bretigne Shaffer argues this is always the wrong solution.
In this episode of the GodArchy podcast, I talk to Bretigne about why monopoly government will always fail us. Along the way, we delve into both economics and political philosophy.
Bretigne worked as a journalist in Asia for many years and is now a mother, fiction writer and podcast host.
