| Message | Monopolization leads to more unemployment and/or efficiency, not less. If these private firms are monopolies to begin with, it makes sense to regulate them; but nationalization is a sure-fire recipe for disaster, just look at the tens of millions who died over nationalized agricutlure--after all, what could be more strategic than agriculture? |
