[ExI] An old skeleton tumbles out of the list closet

[Giulio Prisco]

I think this is a good way of putting it. Modern capitalism is
pro-business (as in Big Business with enough cash to bribe the shit
out of politicians and admins) as opposed to pro-freedom. They don't
compete of quality, but they pay the regulators to create impossible
barriers for new entrants. Call me a free-market anticapitalist, with
the additional crazy thought that freedom should include freedom to
eat.
