  1. For markets to actually work, what is needed is systemic reform to remove all forms of monopoly privilege that reward rent-seeking. Labor unions are made necessary because of the monopoly privilege that is the foundation of property law and taxation. As Joseph Stiglitz has observed, all modern economies are now dominated by "rentier" interests (as Adam Smith predicted absent government creating under law and regulation "a fair field with no favors").

  3. What may be the most critical externality in preventing the price mechanism to function to bring economies back to a state of general equilibrium is the potential to profit from "rent-seeking" rather than having to actually produce goods or deliver services. For example, the low effective rate of taxation on the potential annual rental value of locations in towns and cities rewards the hoarding of land and the acquisition of land for speculative purposes rather than new wealth production. Thus, this form of "rent-seeking" achieves a redistribution of wealth from producers to non-producers (i.e., to rentiers).
