Nope, they are contradictory. The act of regulation decreases freedom, 
hence increases oligopoly/monopoly. It is of course a spectrum and not 
binary, but the more regulation, the more monopoly and the end station is 
socialism where the government is the monopoly with all the power, and the 
citizens being slaves.

Only less regulation and more free markets can counter that. Johan 
Norbergs book, The capitalist manifesto also proves conclusively that less 
regulation and more freedom is the only thing that leads to increase 
quality of life.

Of course, if by quality of life you mean that all power should belong to 
an authoritarian leader and politicians, then that holds little persuasive 
powers, but then the potential you and me have such a fundamental 
difference in values and ways of looking at the worlds that any further 
discussion just becomes pointless.

This is for instance the situation between Lawrence and myself, so every 
time he writes about his socialist theories, I just laugh and write some 
nonsense back, since I cannot even take him seriously.
