MARKET ECONOMY AND JUSTICE SHARE THE SAME IDEA
There is the same idea in market economy, evolution, product
development, justice, objective thinking and honesty: to give each
thing feedback sccording to what it is like, so that one can put it to
its correct best place in the system. This idea is the reason behind
the success of market economies.
So, when we invest in market economy, we should at the same time see
the value of these other things: the value of objective thinking,
honesty and justice. These all lead toward increased efficiency of
systems, toward a higher standard of living.
In questions of justice follow what feels most fair: justice while
taking human values into account. This way you reach the motivational
factors of humans at the same time as quaranteeing good living
conditions for all fairly.
Where the existing power relationships are an obstacle on the road
toward justice, they are at the same time an obstacle toward increased
efficiency.
The efficiency of a system is directly proportional to the amount of
honesty in the system: on how much the work done correlates with how
things really are.
A healthy one works better than a broken one, so it is good to keep the
individuals and the practises of a society healthy. That means following
human values and giving each person fair chances in life according to
true justice.
Could the USA benefit from this view?

Could I be for free competition?
Free competition and justice share the same feature: giving each thing feedback according to what the thing is like.
As competition increases, there is no room for factors which prevent the true optimisation of the system. So there is no room for unfair arrangements, no room for parasites. Otherwise the system drops away from the competition.
Free competition means literally FREE competition, unencumbered by the existing power relationships.
Even if there is USA at the top, interested in military power and benefit, they must support working arrangements and drop away the non-working ones. Otherwise they end up weak and lose benefit, and that is not their wish.
There is a lot that each nation can learn from other cultures’ ways, also what the USA can learn. And the most benefical choise is reached by true objectivity, by allowing the best options rule. That means lots of cultural influence from the other nations but that is for the good of the USA.
NATURAL HIERARGIES
There is a natural hierargy in human societies: the way that is according to real justice, for the good of all.
If we get apprexiated for our good sides, they get supported for the good of all, and others can take us as an example for themselves without losing position at all. If we lose position when we do not according to justice deserve a good position, our bad sides, especially irresponsibility, get discouraged.
When the one who understands better and carries responsibility is in a deciding position things get done well for the good of all. This is possible by using many many partial hierargies at the same time: one for each subject, skill, thing to decide, piece of knowledge,... Correcting one's own errors is a thing to value and to be demanded from all, especially from those in a deciding position. This creates a natural repair mechanism for the society and is an ideal way to arrange things. CARRYING RESPONSIBILITY of the whole and using a good picture of the whole with all emphazies and roles of things right, guide the whole toward the good of all.
There is a saying in Finland: "Honour those who truly deserve respect." (Meaning: even when it is an unorthodox choise, and do not give honour according to custom to those who do not according to justice deserve it).
This is the way that we organize things in my homecountry Finland in North Europe.
2.
Free competition and human values
Referring to my previous letter dated today, I mention that free competition should mean justice.
Free competition should mean also human values for all fairly, since in otpimising a system it is benefical to have an as large pool as possible from which the competing strategies arise. – In this it is good to have as many cultures as possible, so open-mindedness is benefical too.
Human values take care that people stay fit to compete and so keep the pool large enough and the system running. Fair play takes care that the best strategies get chosen and spread to large masses.
