i always find it remarkable, the libertarian belief that man will ALWAYS act in the best interest of his finances, without doubt, ALWAYS.

and what's more remarkable to me is their even firmer belief that, man, when acting in his own best interests, the interests of others will NEVER be subverted or unfairly hurt, without doubt, NEVER.

perhaps you are correct that regulations and government involvement need not be placed on certain areas of industry, but i think, in any society, even capitalist societies, rules, limits and boundries must be set, so that the honest and hard working are to benefit, not the underhand and sly.
