Free Agency
Men are either Free Agents or
Coerced Servants of those in charge of the reigns of power
in business and government
Free Agency is the real heir of classical liberalism and the only RADICAL HOPE for CHANGE, PROGRESS and PROSPERITY, which is based on Individual Liberty and Free Enterprise. It operates on the premise that men are Free Agents who have the right to choose what they do with their lives and the fruits of their mental and physical labors. It rejects the Tribal Ideal that men are members of a pack who must sacrifice their personal goals to the “common good.” While Individual Liberty and Free Enterprise ban physical force from human relationships (except in defense), the Tribal Ideal enshrines force as the primary means of making men do what they “should” for the benefit of the tribe or “common good” as determined by the ever present elite who wield the reins of power. The vast expanse of history is a testament to the tyrannical results of the Tribal Ideal of the “common good”. It has been the philosophical basis for countless ruthless dictatorships that have destroyed the prosperity of the masses that have lived in the grinding poverty produced by fear and injustice. The briefer history of efforts to implement the principles of Free Agency has shown that societies with the greatest individual Liberty have also enjoyed the greatest universal prosperity because they freed the innate potential of men’s minds to innovate, create and build. The only social-economic system ever devised in history that fully recognizes man’s Free Agency is Capitalism with its essential characteristics: Free Markets, Property Rights, and Rule of Law. The level of prosperity of various nations has historically been directly proportional to the extent to which these nations practiced or ignored the principles of Free Agency and Capitalism. The historical examples of the “abuses of Capitalism” have really been examples of the abuses of Crony Capitalism in which business and political leaders collude to enrich companies and empower politicians, for the “common good” which unfailingly turns out to be the good of the political and economic elite.
