the thing about a market society is that it relies on a voluntary participation.

if people don't want to live in a market society, you can't force them to.

that's what friedman was actually getting at when he proposed a negative income tax - that any market society is going to have to deal with people like me that just don't want a fucking thing to do with it, and it's easier and cheaper to cut us a check and tell us to fuck off than it is to send us to boot camp or to jail.
