This is in response to something said in comments. We should always keep in mind that there are only two known methods for allocating resources: markets and by fiat. Don’t like markets? Fine. You should keep in mind that the alternative is a command economy and command economies always introduce serious inefficiencies. They always produce less economic activity than would otherwise be the case.
My own view is that a mixed economy is both best and inevitable and that government should devote much more attention to promoting markets than it does to restraining them. That requires ongoing prudent stewardship. There is no such thing as a permanently stable equilibrium.
Yes. And we are out of balance.
