The old joke that went with that-

A citizen goes to buy a Trabant. The salesman tells him to come back to pick it up in nine (or ten) years.

The customer asks: “Shall I come back in the morning or in the evening then?”

The salesman asks: “You're joking, aren't you?”

The customer replies: “No, not at all. It's just that I need to know whether the plumber can come at 3:00 PM or not.

But people richer than me exist, so I'd rather have that world than what we have now.

		While I get your point, there is obviously a middle ground between eastern block communism and unregulated anarchocapitalism that many nations can and do inhabit. Antitrust is a good example. The free market can't solve everything, and monopolies are bad for innovation despite what Thiel says.
