As my avitar indicates, the Grecians considered the contemplative life to be of higher order than the life of commerce, aided of course by having slaves and servants. You seem to be arguing that life is a machine [Epicureans] but in a related thread, you are mentioning the flaws of physics models and the need to look at the individual market participants.So, I'm unclear on what you are asking? Are you asking me to confirm that I have read the libertarians [which I have]? Are you asking me if I understand them? Or are you asking me if I believe their model represents reality with metaphysical certitude?
