I am pretty sure that none of us at TOTM believes that market is a “meritocracy.” Likewise, most of us would laugh at the suggestion that “the rules governing transactions are neutral and fair.” Why are you making up these silly conjectures? What we do believe is that saving people’s lives is a worthier goal than fighting “commodification.” And we know enough economics to talk about the tax incidence and the elasticity of supply without having to cite Sartre or Diane Sawyer. Please don’t write that I only say so because I secretly believe that people should colonize Mars or that transaction costs don’t exit. Huh?
