I'm not sure why have you decided to reply with that; if anything, by referring to Benjamin Tucker, I'm taking a position in the defense of free markets, not attacking them.

And in any case, if my position was opposed to yours, that argument wouldn't convince me anyway, since I find "economic size" and particularly "growth" to be little more than fetishes of mainstream ideologues. I'm much more easily convinced by what the economists call "consumer surplus", though I'd rather know the "worker surplus".

I was adressing everybody in the discussion.

Like I said, its just the thing that I start with, just this statistic would not convince me either.
