Can there ever be economic freedom and secured social freedom?

[John M]

So you contend that economic freedom constrains social freedom? Is this because of the propensity of unregulated markets to become corrupt and to place the individual citizen at a disadvantage in exchanging labor and property for goods and services, to the point where the individual ends up being what amounted to a serf in the middle ages? I think absent a real commitment to renew and refresh some of our anti-trust principles, we may just be headed for a modern day equivalent of serfdom, where the average person is going to make about $10 an hour, and have a vastly diminished social safety net in the event they become sick or disabled.
