Once they have economic freedom, they can go anywhere, establishing a business in an underdeveloped foreign country, bringing up a third world economy. They can also travel to a lot of countries without worrying about their profiles. Sounds so good. That really means personal freedom. When you give people economic freedom, political and personal freedom will not linger far behind. maybe that's a basic principle of "reform thru prosperity".

Any order that is maintained is strictly artificial and not based upon the consent of the people. That's a very nice argument. But ...
