> the more you free the markets the more success you get Liechtenstein, Singapore, and Luxembourg do not have free markets. They are not lassiz-faire libertarian utopias. They have a shitton of regulation, and Liechtenstein particularly has the most authoritarian nationality law in existence — after 30 years of residency, your neighbors get to vote in a ballot referendum whether you become a citizen or not. Go try to open up a restaurant in Luxembourg — you literally need a certified chef by French standards to do so. Banks won’t accept your cash deposits. AML standards there are the most rigorous in Europe. Singapore has a massive welfare state. Most people live in government housing (80% of them!) and the few people that own something private have a leasehold that expires. You can say this stuff, and maybe you have fooled yourself into believing it, but these are in actuality examples of the richest countries on Earth that have numbers that people can verify. Arguably there are other countries that don’t publish numbers so we can’t verify their success. In contrast, if you want to find countries that are not regulated very much you can look at Somalia, Yemen, and South Sudan. You should move to one of these charming unregulated locales and show us the success that a lack of government regulation generates.
