The lessening burden on private transactions that would result would permit more investment in innovations and technological advancement. The socialistic enterprises of government, like highways and transit systems, should be privatized. Selling such operations to private-sector owners would enable the powerful forces of market incentives to more efficiently direct resources to meet consumers' most urgent needs. More rational pricing of services will reduce the deadweight losses epitomized by traffic jams. The fixed capacities of urban roads could be more effectively used and avert the need to pave over more of the environment.
Human creativity is the key to a more livable future in both economic and environmental terms.
To foster creativity we must have freedom to think and act.
