The emotional plague of armored humans functions to destroy human life. Since America has the reputation of being ” the land of the free”, the emotional plague is set on destroying every manifestation of human freedom that is to be found there including the marketplace. With the best of intentions, many Americans, according to their socio-political character structure, interfere with and effectively destroy the free exchange of goods and services in America.
The Left sees the free market as corrupt and therefore should be replaced by socialism, a State controlled economic system that is corrupt to the core. Those on the right extol its virtues but often engage in every variety of criminal and quasi criminal activity the effect of which destroys people’s trust in the marketplace. Big-brain economists destroy the marketplace by manipulating economic forces from above, ostensibly to “tweak” and “fine tune” it but the effect is to immobilize the freedom in the marketplace .
By putting blame elsewhere, no one recognizes that it is not the free market that is faulty. It is people’s sick behavior manifested as the emotional plague of armored humans in the marketplace that is responsible for economic problems. The sickness in the marketplace is simply an indication of armored people’s inability to tolerate the freedom to work that a free market allows. Destroy the marketplace and you also destroy people’s ways and means of doing an honest day’s work.
The marketplace needs to be protected from the Right by aggressively recognizing and keeping criminals and quasi criminals out of it. It needs to be protected from the Left by not letting it be taken over by the State. It also needs to be protected from it’s interferance by clever, well-intentioned economist savants.
