If you want to see us get really angry with corporations

Show us examples of their blocking free trade by lobbying with the government.

So now we have a situation where if you are a foreign company with experience in running an airline, you can’t invest in India, but a private airline in India can raise equity from abroad. How did we get into this ridiculous situation? Because Jet, Sahara, etc. want it that way of course.

  1. …even more distressing is that their ardent defenders do not hesitate to mistate facts to make their case as Marginal Revolution does here. Talk about an inaccurate article!

    One can be libertarian or a liberal (lower case l) without having to resort to cover-ups. I’m glad you covered the airline ‘scandal’.

  2. Whoops. That didn’t come out right. No pun intended in the use of the word “covered”. My appreciation was quite genuine.

  3. Corporations as ‘legal persons.’ Like Homo Economicus they look after their own interests.

    Don’t expect any corporation to be libertarian. Libertarianism has its roots in pre-capitlist individualist thinking.
