Just at the breakfast table in our hotel, my son and I quietly munching on all the best things
We’re 80 floors up
360 views of Melbourne all around us
Quite incredible seeing the City from up here the past few days
It really gets me thinking
In spite of the clear trend towards big government, over-regulation, too much market intervention, and socialist principles, all of which I am very concerned about in Australia longer-term, and all of which I believe are a handbrake on productivity
The ability of humans to create, meet, trade, build, manage, grow, and flourish, is a miracle
From here you can see trains, planes, boats, buses, cars, motorbikes, and bikes
Roads, a port, an airport, a harbour, bridges, sky scrapers, suburbia, high streets, parks, and sports stadiums
Collaboration, at scale, of self-interested economic actors, building on a set of shared ethics, laws, of which clearly the most important is the bastion of private property
And in lies the key
The right to private property
Which is something that we have to work for, to cherish, to value, educate on, understand, and advocate forever for
People just haven’t dug into what it means
Why it’s important
Indeed, I feel I’ve only just scratched the surface
So cheers to ingenuity, to trade, to entrepreneurship, and the human endeavour
Let’s keep building!
