The outcome is that no matter how the industrial relations statute had been changed, the institutions of the law worked to protect market destructive structures on the ports. My proposition is that our current concepts of what a market based economy is and how it operates, is in large part based on a fraud. We know that for markets to operate, individuals must have legal and actual freedom of choice. In the work environment this individual legal liberty is largely denied. Consequently our market-based economy is prevented from fully operating.
Legal employment creates perversions which are destructive of the market.
This human control issue inhibits our success as a society in creating sustaining wealth. The way we choose to approach liberty in the workplace is fundamental to our success as a society. I suggest our choices at the moment are self destructive.
