    It didn’t look superficially great though. There were people and estates that looked and were fabulously wealthy. But in the context of the country just coming out of reconstruction… It’s not really so much that things were terrible and getting worse. It’s that things were terrible. Got better and then stagnated. Instead of the entire country developing economically in equal measures a select few entities were sucking up all of the resources.

    To put it another way in the year 2024 our policies are very heavily driven by the Reaganomics policies of the 1980s. Just like the early 1900s were very heavily driven by the end of the civil war reconstruction Policies knock on effects.

    I would advise you to go further back and read Locke and Thoreau

    Capitalist minarchism is a branch of Lockeism

    The theory is rooted in laws of nature that Locke identifies, which permit individuals to appropriate, and exercise control rights over, things in the world, like land and other material resources. In other words, Locke’s theory is a justificatory account about the legitimacy of private property rights.

    However, I am partial to several of thoreau’s Geoism points

    I don’t understand where you’re getting a debate from. It’s pretty easy to summarize as. Don’t shit in the Common well don’t pollute the common air. Don’t trespass on your neighbor’s property. Don’t touch your neighbor’s things. Never resort to violence unless for self-defense.
