Default Re: AC: The Economics of Revolutions

The existence of insurance companies that don't want to go out of business. Strangely enough, people would not voluntarily patronize companies that tried to coerce them into behaving ways they don't want to. Shocking, isn't it?

Yeah, that's why the people who start pyramid schemes are always bankrupt. Oh, wait, that's because the state can seize their assets.
