    It's just the age old struggle for freedom of the many versus control by the few, played out in an economic dimension.

    But I would like to see how the perpetual, outcome based directives of the Communist Politburo maps the Chinese command and control economy of princelings into a similar comparison of economic models.

    Government wants you to believe that they can look after you. If people didn't believe this, then government would be revealed as just a very expensive liability.

    Part of this is discrediting the free market and thereby discrediting the idea of freedom itself.

    Central control versus the free market.

    Slavery versus freedom.

    Good comment made by one of the commentators today regarding the cricket. If it wasn't for Virat Kohli, there would be no fifth day entry by gold coin donation with all proceeds going to charity.

    Thank you free-market.

    I’m missing something. All I’m seeing is a link to nothing.
