The libertarian angle is that markets are very effective when you allow them to work. Even big corporations are held accountable for their arrogance or even simple miscalculation - whether it’s “M-She-U”, Bud Light, new formula Coke or the Edsel.

(If the Edsel had been a government program they’d still be making Edsels. The congressman with the Edsel plant in his district would cut all kinds of deals to keep the assembly line pumping ugly, unwanted cars into government storage lots. A preview of things to come for EVs?)
