Centralization vs. Free Markets
This chapter critically examines centralized systems in essential services, arguing that while they may offer efficiency, they can also create distance from consumer needs. It contrasts government monopolies with the benefits of smaller-scale alternatives and emphasizes the importance of market freedom over coercive government control. The discussion also delves into human nature, potential corruption, and the nuanced roles of governance and monarchy in fostering individual liberties and a free market.
