Incentives matter . Private ownership promotes responsibility and cooperation. Trade creates wealth. Profits direct businesses toward activities that increase wealth.
Competition increases efficiency and innovation.
Taxation and regulation discourage production and destroy wealth . Political decision-making favors plunder over production. Central planning wastes resources and retards economic progress. As a policy debater or extemper you are a spinner of tales. And you must ply your art better than the speakers who come before or after you in the round.
