Agree that once an economy has developed above a certain level more and more freedom needs to be allowed in its markets as they become increasingly complex. But am also a believer in the mixed economy- one where there is some government provision of large scale strategic planning and infrastructure and that this is especially important in a developing economy. China has demonstrated one of the most exceptional economic developments in human history by using this mixed approach. The heyday of the US economy was similarly a mix of government involvement and private capital. When either government involvement or private capital gain too much of a dominance things can go wrong. Important to remember nation state economies are human collective competing with each other for resources and markets and the government is an important strategic player in that competition.
