Welcome everyone to Finance and Fury, the Furious Friday edition. Today’s episode is part 5 of the miniseries. The last part looked at the ‘fair go’, what is fair for some, isn’t for others.
Nearing end of series, I want to put forward a case. The constant need to make things ‘fair’ i.e. have an equal distribution of goods = destroys equality of opportunity for a nation. It destroys what makes nations great (no opportunity from authoritarian governments, we covered this in episode 2), and starts to reduce the freedoms of the nation which is the equality of opportunity.
Where does this ‘fairness’ mandate come from? Because it’s a relatively new concept in society. The cause is our progressive nature.
Humans always change, nature is always progressing. Progress is fantastic, only when it benefits everyone
That government with too much power end up destroying freedoms. We are what makes it happen
If the government can’t give it to you, then you won’t ask for it. Now, imagine how scary the world would be if the government wasn’t there to help?
