Interesting article. There would likely be more competitors to Amazon under libertarian anarchy, as more capital would be available for potential competitors; in addition, there would be no “govcorp”. Are you endorsing statist anti-trust measures here? How do you like living in Malta? If I may ask, why did you move there? Do you recommend it to tourists?
I am definitely not endorsing anti-trust laws. The consumers need to voluntarily abandon amazon. But amazon is not a monopolist. You can get most things they sell on other platforms, it is often just more convenient to have everything on one platform.
Malta is alright. It is not perfect but we like it here. It is very small though. We mainly came for the weather. It is an English speaking country in the Mediterranean which does not have terrible taxation. Although if you work here on a normal income you pay quite a few taxes, similar to the UK. We did not see a point staying in the UK after what happened in the pandemic. The country seems broken. But we might not be able to stay in Malta, as they do not allow homeschooling here.
