Plan

Tom Brosz — 3/9/2005 7:33:34 PM (archived)

I'm assuming we're talking about theoretical, as in "if I were running the joint." There isn't much that can be done from outside.

There is no "easy plan." Just a policy of taking the road of free markets, individual rights, and deregulation and not the road of collectivization and tyranny whenever a fork in the road presents itself.

Leftists tend to take the other fork.

I described a policy of private ownership at even the lowest levels of society. If a Third World government honestly has evidence that land or industries were looted from legitimate owners in recent years, as opposed to acquired legitimately, distribute it to the people but for God's sake actually GIVE it to them. Just changing the title on the ownership slip from "Foreign Capitalist" to "Fearless Leader" doesn't change much.

If you want more on this, study the work of Hernando de Soto.
