I've heard lots of people talking about "the issue which legalizes private enterprise". I would like to know what is the issue and what option do I have to make.

Thanks

The best solution is not to outlaw private enterprize in the first place. How do you accidentally ban it?

[code:1:f8b555f52a]The Issue
The CEO of @@NAME@@ software, hardware, and electronic headwear giant Microcosm, Inc. has been brought before the Supreme Court for violation of antitrust laws.

The Debate
1. "These allegations are absolutely ludicrous!" shouts Microcosm CEO @@RANDOMNAME@@ from out the window of his 90-foot stretch limo. "Just because rival companies are incapable of producing products as brilliant as mine is no reason to punish ME! I say it's high time we abolish these idiotic antitrust laws and give big business the freedom to serve the public better. After all, I'm in this business for the people!"

2. "Microcosm must be shut down immediately," argues CEO of Computers, Computers, Computers! @@RANDOMNAME@@ from out the window of his clunky, exhaust-choked used car. "I can't get a foothold to compete in the market because those bigwigs in Microcosm have that foothold by the throat! It's high time the government stepped in and helped out the little man, and the best way to do that is to shut down the big, oppressive, corporate gurus in Microcosm and beyond."

3. "Verily, I say unto thee, none of this would have happened wouldst thou not have stopped the problem before thou didst start it," argues Brother @@RANDOMNAME@@ of the @@NAME@@ Amish community from out the window of his horse-drawn carriage. "We must doest as the Lord commandeth and abolishest the evils of computers and the Internet entirely. Only whenst we harken unto the Lord's commandments mayeth we truly be spiritually blessed."[/code:1:f8b555f52a]

I'm guessing that while you are creating your nation, you chose the option that agreed strongly that captialism is on the way out. Has private enterprise been outlawed in your country since day one?

and whether when you created it whether you thought private corporations were good or bad and if you ban trade unions there are lots of issues car ones especially

Incidentally, I misunderstood the question. Instead of understanding that "Capitalism is on the way out", I understood it as "Capitalism is the way out", so I put strongly agree.

I had private enterprise illegal since my 1st day, but since then I've always been taking pro-capitalist options and I counldn't manage to get private enterprise legal.

Oh..and I'm already trying for 5 months.

Who needs private enterprize anyway? Seek the path of anarchism, real anarchism, not that anarcho-capitalism junk.

Yeah, sadly, if you start out in this game with illegal enterprise, you can NEVER BE CAPITALIST AGAIN! It's amazing, even if you have no antitrust laws and your government IS a corporate asset and you've been pro-business for 8 months.

There really should be an issue to change that, or at least a warning (don't start out as socialist or your nation description page will be tainted forever!)

What difference does it make if private enterprise is illegal or not? Does it just affect the number of strong industries you can have?

If you insist on social classes, I can't stop you, but it's a bad move. Why not have a classless society like Letila?
