Anders Mikkelsen

The garbage situation in Cairo is a classic example of government imposing a supposedly rational and modern solution that fits the needs of the people in charge but doesn't fit the needs of people. The end result is a spectacular failure.

Murray N. Rothbard

Troy Camplin

However, it is not markets that have failed but governments in failing to protect property rights.
