	Economic interventionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Economic interventionism is a common and slightly pejorative term used to describe any activity, beyond the basic regulation of fraud, undertaken by a central government in an effort to affect a country's economy.
		Economic invervention is frequently aimed at increasing economic growth, fostering employment, promoting equality, raising wages, raising or reducing prices, and, in general, coping with market failures.
		However, economic intervention is also used, albeit less often, by conservatives in many parts of the world in an attempt to mitigate free market effects that they see as opposed to their traditions, social order, or state authority.

	The Free Market and the Interventionist State (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		America's unprecedented economic prosperity is not the result of the richness of the American land, but rather of the economic policy that understood how best to take advantage of the opportunities that the land offers.
		Nearly all writers on economic policy and nearly all statesmen and party leaders are seeking an ideal system which, in their belief, is neither [purely] capitalistic nor socialistic, is based neither on [unrestricted] private property in the means of production nor on public property.
		Interventionism as public policy is not consistent with the free market since it intentionally prevents or modifies the outcomes of the market.

	Interventionism [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Interventionism is characterized by the use or threat of force or coercion to alter a political or cultural situation nominally outside the intervenor's moral or political jurisdiction.
		In the case of domestic interventionism that apparatus is the police force (or the army acting as a domestic policing force as with the British army in Northern Ireland 1969-date); in the case of international interventionism it is the army.
		International interventionism can incorporate direct activities such as the use or threat of war, as well as indirect activities such as assassination, subversion, and economic embargoes of all descriptions (complete or partial blockades, transport restrictions, etc.).

	Government Intervention Creates Chaos, Not Jobs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The proponents of this economic interventionism use a variety of approaches to involve government in the market place-vocational training, public service employment, on-the-job training, institutional training, work experience, and job placement programs.
		The 1980s should be a time to reduce the failing economic policies of the 1970s that have brought inflation, stagflation, and economic hardship-policies which have reduced the standard of living of the American people and seriously weakened the role of the United States in the international community.
		Economic policies to encourage savings and capital formation in order to maintain a healthy growing economy must be pursued and the result will be productivity, stable demand and prices, and reduced inflation.

		Interventionism is not only supported by Keynesian economics but also by the neo-classical approach.
		Because of the necessity of adaptation-flexibility in dynamic economic systems an "Evolutionary Economic Policy", characterised by ordo-liberal insights in the importance of economic and political order and evolutionary views on economic processes as discovery procedures, are advocated.
		But interventionist policies are also supported by the formation of a mainstream in economics, dominated by the neo-classical theory, and by cultural factors, by internal institutions and path-dependency.

		By definition interventionism is the use of force to coerce an individual from commanding his property however he wishes.
		We have already pointed out that interventionism, as an economic system, is different from the market economy in the sense that, even if the system is not free to use their property as they see fit.
		By nature, interventionism steals or controls property from he who is entitled to his property.

	Against War - Ludwig von Mises
		The wars of our age are not at variance with popular economic doctrines; they are, on the contrary, the inescapable result of consistent application of these doctrines.
		It may be permissible to call them economic conflicts because they concern that sphere of human life which is, in common speech, known as the sphere of economic activities.
		It is not a shortcoming of the liberal program for international peace that it cannot be realized within an antiliberal world and that it must fail in an age of interventionism and socialism.

	Does Morality Hamper the Market Process? A Reappraisal of the Mises Thesis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		They are convinced that such a moral reform would in itself be sufficient to safeguard a mode of operation of the economic system, more satisfactory from their point of view than that of the unhampered capitalism, without any of those special government measures that interventionism and socialism require.
		The logic of interventionism suggests that other socio-economic reforms would have to be introduced, such as certain welfare policies, to solve the growing unemployment problem, and those policies would likely spur further rounds of unintended and undesirable outcomes justifying still more policies and interventions.
		Mises attempted to tar moral reformism with the brush of interventionism, suggesting that a morally improved capitalism is unworkable.

	Promethean Capitalism Part Seven: Economic Fascism
		Today the corporation continues to be the means to consolidate and control modern economies, a container in which individual economic action is more easily managed and integrated with political rule, under the complex systematization of corporate law.
		This is because the most prevalent economic systems today are just variations on a theme: the economic dominance of the state, control over exchanges within the state and between states, and what has evolved within that system.
		Virtually every country is fascist today, differing only in degree and kind of economic freedom which has met with interference from the encroachment of the state and from the commingling of business and government which is inevitable in a statist society.

	Third World Network Africa - TWN Africa
		Although NEPAD diagnoses Africa’s economic malaise in part, as a result of colonial underdevelopment, globalisation and structural adjustment programmes, the irony is that the programme looks up to the Western industrialized world through aid, trade and investment flows for a panacea to continent’s underdevelopment.
		The era of economic reforms further weakened the capacity of the state since the economic adjustment agenda focused primarily on minimal state intervention in the economy.
		Although the economic decline can be traced right from the pre-independence era to the era of economic nationalism, the failure to turn around the fortunes of the economy through economic reform programmes and policies also hinges on the failure to implement meaningful debt elimination strategies.

	Government Interventionism in Ireland, Part 2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Government interventionism, of one form or another, was the dominant creed in the early 20th century, and Ireland’s intellectuals, like so many others around the world, succumbed to the belief in salvation through government control.
		Unfortunately, it is precisely the craving for government control that made their hopes for self-determination so unappealing to a significant minority of their population, the very people whose cooperation they required to make a peaceful departure from British control.
		It is interesting to note that the British government itself throughout the 20th century would become more and more enamored of economic interventionism and the socialistic welfare state.

		The class was studying the way the US Supreme Court changed its stance on economic interventionism during the years of the Great Depression.
		Capitalism, which has no role for the government in the economy (aside from contract enforcement and protection of individual rights), economically relies on the signals of prices for allocation of labor, natural resources, intermediate goods, in effect everything involved in the mutually beneficial transactions of the free marketplace.
		The economic consequences, let alone the moral abhorrence of state bureaucrats deciding on prices, of this kind of legislation are as follows.

		One of the most important facts about economic growth is that, on average, poor countries do not catch up to rich countries.

	Federal Reserve Interventionism
		Although not as much a topic of focus in the financial press as the stock market, a nation's currency is the foundation of its economy and it therefore follows that to enjoy a strong economy a country must have a strong currency.
		And the words "growth of the country" is so nebulous that it would be well within the spirit of the Fed's past actions to interpret this to mean growth of government (as opposed to growth of the country's backbone, the middle class and its institutions).
		As many have already pointed out, this is interventionism plain and simple, replete with all the usual assumptions of benevolent omniscience on the part of the central planners.
