Negative Space: economies of scale
- California never had a free market power failure
-
California’s experiment in free market power generation has become mythological in how it is remembered. The left is desperate to tar it as a free market failure. But California’s experiment wasn’t free market. It was a massive government-managed exchange practically designed to cause high prices.
- Economies of scale and government-run health care
-
Economies of scale only produce lower prices when people are allowed a choice of service providers—including the choice to forego the service. Government-run programs do not benefit from economies of scale—in fact, scaling up will cause increased prices when the industry is run by the government.
- Growth does not pay for itself
-
Growth that doesn’t pay for itself is cancerous growth. It isn’t the growth of population that gets more expensive, but the expanding grasp of government.
- Why don’t taxes go down when population goes up?
-
The left says that government can better take advantage of economies of scale. So why don’t they lower taxes when population rises?
