White House Science Czar would use free market . . .
Obviously, Holdren doesn’t begin to comprehend the free market. Some bureaucrat/would-be-dictator doesn’t use a truly free market for anything. In a free market, individuals producing and trading among themselves create whatever they are capable of, and the resultant emergent economy is what it is (and has proven to be enormously beneficial for mankind wherever it has been allowed to operate). It is not something that a tyrant can use to produce his personally desired result by imposing upon the entire rest of mankind, whether to limit their numbers, or any other goal. A free market, if allowed to operate, produces whatever free people are capable of producing (including more people, if that is their choice).
