Our economies need to be planned and regulated daily, even hourly, if we are to have any chance at success. They need to be micro-managed, scrutinised and guided by intelligent leaders. Success can only come by astute planning. We simply cannot abide any longer a hit-and-miss, unfettered economic system, fraught with greed, special favours, oligopolistic cronyism, and one that allows economic excesses to run rampant and unchecked. This is why we need free markets.
