American politicians have adopted, and continue to dream up, some of the dumbest economic ideas. Our major economic issue is “corporatism,” where crony corporations have the concealed ability to wield state power. To the naked eye, Americans believe that government agencies provide a check against big corporations, right? Wrong! Only the free market prohibits corporations from wielding state power. Naturally, big corporations hate the free market, and they want American citizens to hate the free market too.
