Re: France\'s social market vs. the U.S.\'s libertarian/less social mark
[ QUOTE ]
Unfortunately for libertarians, intangible 'goods' are far more important to human happiness than highly tangible ones. Meaningful work, love, and a feeling of belonging and cooperation in non-profitable activities in fact have all individually been shown to be more important to human well-being than things that are for sale, for example.

Please elaborate at all how this is "unfortunately for liberatrians". This seems like much worse news for central planners where these intangible goods cannot be arbitrarily divided and must somehow compensate them. Some people value love more than free time, some people value belonging more. Some people value working more. What makes you think you can decide better than they can? Do you even have a point, because I am clearly missing it.
