“Zuckerberg is quickly learning the cold reality that making the world a better place for human relations with your grand idea runs headlong into stifling government rules and regulations that short-circuit voluntary exchanges and gum up the division of labor. While government wants to treat everyone like uniform and interchangeable ants, humans are unique, as Murray Rothbard wrote in Egalitarianism as a Revolt Against Nature and Other Essays. "It is the fact that these unique personalities need freedom for their full development that constitutes one of the major arguments for freedom."
Forcing Facebook to be publicly traded and sending Zuckerberg to Washington with hat in hand, like Bill Gates before him, is more tragic than Jenkins knows. Rothbard pointed out that "only the free man can be fully individuated and, can be fully human." Investment, mobility, the division of labor, creativity, entrepreneurship, and ultimately wealth creation depend upon individual freedom. Dotting i's and crossing t's for the SEC won't spur the creative process. Next, valuable resources and brainpower will be stationed in the nation's capitol to play defense.”
