To give Hayek a bit of credit, he thought that money creation shouldn't be a legal monopoly either, so he wasn't just a spokesman for big finance like most of the neoliberal inteligencia. But, if a country, like the US, was designed the way that he wanted, I believe that we would revert back to the chaos of the old West. A time when the economy was run with a mess of various currencies from the dollar to the Mexican Peso, various bank created notes, and coinage produced by private businesses. People could bring plenty of money with them while moving to a new town, only to find out that their money wasn't accepted anywhere. Sometimes a government created benevolent monopoly offers everyone a lot more freedom. Freedom from inefficiency and uncertainty. At the end of the day, freedom means free time. Time that's not wasted on finding fresh water, commuting to work, disposing of waste, or trying to do business in a chaotic monetary environment. Good government gives us that kind of freedom.

If you receive welfare, you shouldn’t get to vote because you'd be a single-issue voter on maintaining and increasing your welfare, plus voting for any party that promises to do this.
