Prudence (a worker for one of our nation's successful members of the
competitive sector), you forget that the countries you mention as being
successful examples of laissez-faire economies are intimately intertwined
with a WORLD capitalist economy.  As you will freely admit, none of the
1st world countries have anything like a laissez-faire economy.

If laissez-faire economies are so wonderfully functional for all societies,
what happened to the major economic powers?  Could it be that LFE's are not so
wonderful on a large scale?
