For those who are familiar with his reasoning on this, what is the backbone of this theory?

Essentially, with a free market economy, why is it that monopolies cannot exist? Does his view hold water? and why?

If you are not familiar with his work on this subject, please don't bother answering as the point of this is not to get a series of answers calling the idea crazy without even knowing what his philosophy on the subject is. Thanks : )

Was trying to think of best way to phrase that.

I get that i have multiple issues with my make up that make me highly undateable (no car, no desire to drive a car, no place of my own, no money, past credit and bad check issues) .. those i understand. However, i've also come to realize deeper issues of being recluse, but not shy. of having a lifetime of limited contact with people in general and a distain for the normal places people meet (bars, clubs, church, parties). Add that to years of pysch and suicide tries (depression, ptsd, and schizoid) and I really do get why i'm not someone to think about.

Also learned that overall dating just came from friendships that just fell in place, never actually going to places to ask a girl out (now 29). I get i've been burned in the limited relationships i've been in, which brings the question: Should I give up? Have dated while not liking myself, and yeah, told i need to do that, but if not possible what then? Just feel-i don't know

Mindful of the various schools on this - wondered what the 'information rich' thought -

I would like to think so - 30,000 children die everyday in the 3rd world - 350,000,000 work in sweat shops - the goods we buy have dubious origins that are almost untraceable yet liberalist thinking seems to denote that an invisible hand will eventually tickle it's way down to the have nots..

Since accident of birth denotes where we are born.. (it is not achieved) and unlike in a game of monopoly we all do not start equally - it is obviously not fair that poverty exists..

Yet it does seem to be the case that rich westerns do think a rich person's life is more important than that of a poor person's.. there are 10 9/11's everyday and no-one builds sculptures for that, has one minute silences etc
Can therefore it ever be eradicated?

My favourite Auntie is burying her partner of many years tomorrow. He died suddenly on Monday. I just feel so bad for her. She is 70 and has always been the life and soul of the party.. at New Year for example she put us young ones to shame and ended up partying for 4 days! Think DD dying just reminds me that her, my folks etc all getting on - with possibly their best days behind them and it makes me really sad.. the could cry buckets sad - ain't an over-emotional person as general rule.

I swear some of you just answer even if you don't know! For those of you that have no clue, a little less talking and a little more shut the he** up! Like johndeereman.. If your not part of the solution you are part of the problem! For those of you that actually read the problem and answered with your brain, thank you!

I am a loner, but I can handle social situations and maintain my life. I just like to spend a lot of my free time alone. A lot of people say they get bored or depressed in solitude, but not me. Should I?

My friend has a PhD from the LSE in Sociology, a Masters form Cambridge, and a Bachelors from the LSE. She has some teaching experience and a couple of papers under review. She is not an outgoing but rather a very serious and reserved person with really in-depth knowledge of her subject matter. She has not enough guidance and support from existing academic contacts and as time goes by she becomes more & more disillusioned about the prospects of getting in academia. Any advice please? It is such a shame to see a great person that can contribute a lot to slowly give up.

Today i had an astonishing experience with a female driver: while out in the driveway i noticed a soccer ball lying in the middle of the street. Some kids must have forgotten it there, or it has rolled into the street from nearby gardens. I expected some kids showing up soon to get it back. But then i noticed a car approaching from down the road, driven by a business woman probably in her mid 30s. She didn't make the impression of a particularly rude or careless person on me so i didn't expect anything odd to happen. But then i realized that she didn't make an attempt to avoid the ball either - instead running over it directly with the tires: KAPOW - flat it was! She just kept on driving, as if nothing happened, nor looking particularly surprised. "Wow", i thought, "what was that?" So i can't get over this, but has any woman out here ever deliberately or by accident run over a ball or other toy? And if by accident: were you sorry, did you stop and/or pay for the ball/toy?

okay, if i were to talk in front of a large crowd, somtimes i would feel like everyone was judging me and turn red-faced. if i could change anything about me it would be this. sometimes it could be 2 people looking at me and this fear would come to mind. definitly not all the time - usually only when i think about it. its the fact that i know i easily blush that makes me blush...its a sad loophole.
is there any ideas of overcoming this?
