Organ market

You just blew the case for organ markets.

I can’t think of any easier explanation that more completely sums up the free market.

No, you blew the case for restructuring debt.

Why do you think harvesting organs is good? Why is it necessary?

I didn’t say that, nor did I imply that.

Thanks for your replies everybody!

It is actually pretty fun, because a few weeks after I had asked the question about how to grow organs, on this forum, we read about genetic engineering on the natural science in school, haha :slight_smile: We read a lot about creating organs from stamcells, not only “existing” organs like a regular lever or a heart, but also create tottally new organs that man has never seen before, fit to cure special diseases and so on. Really cool, this organ production can be truly great in the future!

Someone asked me about Bastiat. I think his essay “That wich is seen, and that wich is not seen” was pretty enjoyable to read, compared to other texts (in the school litterature etc) in the same subject. His language was not that hard for me, but that can have something to do with the fact that I am really interested in old litterature and that kind of stuff, so I am used to the most kind of language. My teacher suggested me to read a book about John Maynard Keynes, because he “constitute” the modern economics. If I am interested in free market economics, he recomended Milton Friedman, but he is not an “Austrian economist”, or is he? We have been taught about three different “directions” in the economic science. The socialistic one, that says that government should do the most stuff in the economy. The free market part that says that government should only take care of the money to keep the inlation in check and leave the rest to the free market with competition and all that, and then the “keynesian” perspective wich is like a mixed between both :slight_smile: Regulation is necessary, but we must also have some capitalism. But the austrian, pretty radical perspective that says we should END the central bank and government should not create money, was not included. I did not have the curage to point that out though, because I am such a noob at this, I haven’t hardly read anything about economics so I am not tempted to discuss with my teacher when he is talking about all this complicated stuff,

I think it is strange though, because you guys, Mises, Hayek and so on really seems to know a few things. I doubt that you are completely way off in this subject. But i really think you are right about organs, It just make sense what you have write in this thread! :wink:

Best regards!

BTW: I would like to remind you that my capabilities in english are very limited, as you probably have noticed. Sorry about that!

? Do you mean they’re not well known?

I suggest you read Man, Economy & State with Power & The Market when you get the time. It’ll erode most of the nonsense you’ll be taught at school and give you a starting point from which to move to other, deeper Austrian works.

I had never heard of any of them before I found this site by myself. My teacher did not even mention Hayek or the austrian school. But this is high school, people problably get to know about this kind of economics later in life.

Anyway, this is a little off the topic, I will probably come back with more reflection about organs and prices later!

Best regards!
