Why Has Classical Capitalism Devolved to Crony-Capitalism?

Charles Hughs Smith
by Charles Hughs Smith

We all know that we no longer have a free market but crony capitalism bordering on oligarchy.
The original post is thought provoking as well as quite informative. 
The centralization of power puts the self interest of the few and powerful over all of the rest.
At the end of this post is an excellent 24 minute video which includes slides. 
It may be a bit wonky, but it is very understandable....

Feds Declare War on Raw Milk Cheese: Regulation Spoils Acclaimed Wisconsin Cheese

Cheese Lovers Rise Up! One More Step Toward Totalitarianism!


Yup, more Fed over reach. There has never been a problem with these products. However, the truth and the evidence matter not.
The goal seems to be to drive the small, independent entrepreneurs out of business via the imposition of   regulations that literally choke the life out of them. Once they are completely obliterated, big corporations and big government will be perfectly aligned for the establishment of an oligarchy; thus, eliminating our freedom of choice in most areas of our lives.

From Ben Swann:
"Just like the FDA’s rule change on curing cheese on wood planks earlier this year, the potential for regulation change doesn’t make producing a cheese that could be illegal once it’s ready to be sold economically feasible.
Wisconsin cheese blogger Jeanne Carpenter explains it this way: “The death of Rush Creek Reserve should act as the canary in the coal mine for all American raw milk artisan cheeses, because just as our great American artisan cheese movement is in serious full swing, the FDA has basically declared a war on raw milk cheese.”
