[QUOTE="faulkton, post: 6232599, member: 561910"] The instance in which the individual would be protected from all risks is minimal. The individual, the basic unit of society, would still be subject to the destructive and blind forces of the market. This alone, in my opinion would justify protection. What is good for the largest portion of society cannot be bad for the whole. We both know i am way out of my area of knowledge here, and perhaps this is naive, but i do not believe that such markets could even mature to the point which you describe before society itself was destroyed and the system collapsed. Further i fail to see how they could have developed to the level you described without some intervention from a governmental forces. This could explain why the interests outlined above joined forces in the protectionist movement with the individual. The joining of their interests was the most efficient means to gain their ends and intervention/regulation held a greater advantage to all parties than a SRM. [/QUOTE]
