    you're right, our banking system isn't even remotely close to being based on voluntary trade and "free market". so I'm not sure how we can even discuss this supposed failure of the…

    A fundamental flaw in the article: "The banks, however, are another matter altogether, and this is where I think capitalism has hit a roadblock. The government has intervened to sa…

    I use Gizmo5 on my e71 over 3g. Better and cheaper than Skype.

    the whole reason I bought an unlocked nokia e71 is to be free of expensive contracts and its great voip support, unlike the iPhone. if nokia stops doing it, I'm sure someone else w…

    I'd recommend reading some Murray Rothbard before anything by Milton Friedman or Rand. It's even free online here: http://mises.org/rothbard/ethics/ethics.asp

    It monopolizes these functions by crowding out any private investment there might have been. Private companies like AT&T/Bell Labs and IBM used to do LOTS of research. Now it's all…
