One is the continuing debate over the proper role for government in what is basically a marketplace economy. An economy based on free enterprise is generally characterized by private ownership and initiative，with a relative absence of government involvement．However，government intervention has been found necessary from time to time to ensure that economic opportunities are fair and accessible to the people，to prevent flagrant abuses，to dampen inflation and to stimulate growth.  Ever since colonial times，the government has been involved，to some extent，in economic decision-making.

The Man in Black，who I have often mentioned，is one whose friendship I could wish to acquire，because he possesses my esteem. His manners，it is true，are tinctured with some strange inconsistencies，and he may be justly termed a humorist in a nation of humorists.
