How the hell would Jeff Bezos succeed in a Librarian system? He has had the US government given his business tax breaks, subsidies for its work force and duties on foreign companies to bar competition. No this is not a librarian society, he operates in a protectionist society where he has already beaten any competition inside the country and the US government wants to protect "American" companies against foreign ones. Let's not lie, Amazon has brought a lot of conveniences, but it came at a cost and now it can buy any competition in the US before it can challenge it or lobby government before any foreign competition can become dominant. So continue to vote for presidents who vote to keep your job safe, makes it so much easier for them to exploit you
He would simply read the most books
You are right about the subsidization, but how are tax breaks even relevant in a Libertarian system that has no government that collects taxes?
