A short YouTube clip (Mark Hamilton) arguing that technological advances—like the production line and division of labor during the Industrial Revolution—dramatically raised standards of living, but that governments soon intervened with regulation. The speaker criticizes such interventions as the “rule of man” (described as initiatory force) disguised by appealing rhetoric (e.g., "level the playing field").
You can put in your pocket what only Fortune 500 companies as far as computer power could. Not too long ago, going back before high tech hundred years ago, the production line just skyrocketed. The standard living throughout America and then the world go back even further. The division of labor, the industrial revolution skyrocketed standards of living around the world. Business and. And the problem in all of those examples I gave you is it didn't take long for government to get their hooks in there and start regulating using their rule of man. What's rule of man? Initiatory force. Oh so subtly hidden up in illusions that sound really good. You know, level this, level playing this and that. All of these illusions that the masses fall for.
