There was no government capable of interfering. The market for our goods was extremely limited and anything but freeWe had an agrarian economy and survived off of tobacco and firsWe didn't have free market capitalism in the 18 th centuryWrong. 18th Century liberals were believers in free market capitalism. Modern liberals are Stalinists.
We had an INTERNAL Free Market to ensure competition between Americans, and tariffs against foreign competitors.
And we grew to be the world's largest economy.
The marketplace was very limited
"Free market" means the government didn't interfere. The fact that our economy wasn't industrial yet is a result of the fact that it takes time for industry to develop. It doesn't spring up miraculous from the ground the instant you get government out of the way.
All you ever prove with your posts is what a colossal dumbass you are.
I love when conservatives try to attribute their agenda to the founders. Makes them look like desperate fools
You're utterly wrong about that. The English government interfered with private industry in minute detail in those days. "Free market" means the government doesn't interfere. That's all it means.
Your expression "the market for goods was extremely limited" is utterly meaningless. Yes, fewer goods were produced and purchased in those days because our economy wasn't as developed as it is now. All you're saying is that we weren't as wealthy then. No duh? Are you an idiot? Why would anyone expect it to be just as advanced as it currently is after 200 years of the industrial revolution that came about solely because of the existence of the free market?
I laugh when turds like you attempt to deflect that causes economies to grow. It isn't government.
