The article on Diocletian contains a discussion of Diocletian's economic policies, the following phrase clearly indicates a pro-Libertarian economic POV, by indicating that Diocletian's price-control system was 'naive':
QUOTE Further, in 301, Diocletian attempted to curb the rampant inflation, and issued his Edict on Maximum Prices. This Edict fixed prices for over a thousand goods, fixed wages, and threatened the death penalty to merchants who overcharged. Needless to say this was unenforceable and thus was quickly ignored. The Romans lived in a time before any understanding of the science of economics... <-- BS alert It's no coincidence that Jimbo, and a statistically large number of key admins, are all Libertarians who oppose price-controls... such as the minimum wage. |
