Walter Block responds to criticism of the free market model
of criminal punishment. This oft-stated
criticism cites the many inequities such as discrimination against the poor, racism,
sexism and other prejudices. Block
highlights the real culprit in these consequential inequities – the State, and
not free enterprise. He aptly illustrates his point through
segregated busing in the civil rights era.
Why didn’t free enterprise rise up to offer blacks an alternative to
being forced to ride in the back of the bus?
Nope. The State itself precluded
in through Jim Crow Laws denying such permits.
The enemy is the State, and not free markets. Quite the polar opposite, the answer to our
problems lies NOT in the State, but in the free market.
How many people in America know the US army is now targeting
Russian military personnel? The enemy is
the State.
