Markets function and flourish only when property rights are secured and can be enforced, which in turn requires a political framework protected and backed by military power . . . Indeed, McDonalds cannot flourish without McDonnell Douglas, the designer of the US Air Force F–15. And the hidden fist that keeps the world safe for Silicon Valley’s technologies to flourish is called the US Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps.[1]
