Benewing on Nostr: Mises and Hayek didn’t make blanket statements that governments are universally bad ...
Mises and Hayek didn’t make blanket statements that governments are universally bad no matter their makeup or reach. They didn’t argue for an absence of government, they argued for a government that allowed the free market to function. Without a government there can be no rule of law so there can be no market because there is no way to enforce contracts
