There's another word for laissez faire, and that is neglect. Just what the authors of T4T described as the problem with third turnings, and which leads into the crisis. Just what we experienced the last 35 years. No, it never works; the verdict of history is clear. Neither extreme works
For someone who most likely believes in evolution it is strange that you have such trouble with the concept of self organizing systems. Economies are not machines but rather more like an ecosystem in this respect.
You know as well as I do that I have shared Sheldrake's concept of "self-organizing systems" on this forum many times. I have no trouble with the concept at all. I agree with it.
Your trouble is that you think "free enterprise" exists and that it is not coercive, while the state is a machine that is. Those are quite false equivalencies.
