We were able to deal with China when China was a communist state. Even though we thought that that was a terrible arrangement, we could still cooperate. And that's what markets enable people to do. They bring freedom with them."

Why not?

Money helps us see the cost of doing certain things. If something costs a lot it means it requires a lot of input(or the value is high, lulz, but obviously recycling isn't "in demand" cus there ain't tons of folks making a point to buy recycled goods). But yeah I do think we should recycle.
