Free Markets, Competition, and Research

  • Prohibition of Monopolies: Yehodaya’s market will be free of monopolies. Every monopoly will be broken up into competing entities. Where dismantling a monopoly is impossible, a tax will be imposed on its excess profits and directed toward the development of competitors.
  • Absolute Prohibition of Artificial Protection: Trade in Yehodaya will be entirely free. No tariffs, protective taxes, or subsidies will be imposed in any form or for any reason. Yehodaya will rely on comparative advantage and global competition.
  • Separation of Government and Capital: The state will not establish government-owned companies, provide subsidies, or intervene in prices.
  • Government Contracting: The state will conduct its activities exclusively through private companies. Government contracts will be limited to six years, with mandatory replacement of the supplier, to prevent the emergence of entrenched government contractors.
  • Professional Licensing and Transparency: Monopolistic professional guilds, such as bar associations, accounting associations, medical associations, and similar bodies, will be prohibited. The state will not issue licenses to practice professions, except for driving, aviation, and maritime navigation. Training institutions will be required to publish their training data, success rates, and graduate statistics.
  • Individual Freedom of Employment: Relations between employers and employees will be based exclusively on individual contracts. The establishment, organization, or operation of labor unions, workers’ committees, employers’ organizations, or any organization intended to conduct collective bargaining or restrict individual freedom of contract will be prohibited. This is intended to ensure a competitive and flexible labor market. These rules will apply to all workers in the economy, including public- and government-sector employees.
  • Research and Development: The state will fund research and development only in fields with a clear national interest, such as defense and basic science, and only where the private sector does not provide an adequate response.
  • Associations and Nonprofit Organizations: These bodies will be taxed like ordinary businesses. Thirty percent of donations made to them will be deductible by the donor for tax purposes, with the aim of encouraging private philanthropy.
