“Democaratic principals look askance at the idea of a Monopoly yet the Torah advocated the din of Hasogas Gvul which means that if a store is open cometition is not allowed to open in the area (of course this is the extremly basic law and a deeper understanding of Choshen Mishpat is needed to understand where and how it is applied.”
You are correct; laissez-faire would say the more competition the better. I am aware of several cases in the new york area where a beit din has ruled against a new business that had opened too close to a similar business.
“While legally if a borowwer defaults on a loan the lender can only collect “
In secular law, the borrower can declare bankruptcy to get out of the loan completely. There is no parallel in Judaism.
Judaism also does not provide for securitization of loans or limited liability corporations.
‘The Torah views “fairness’ as being the province of HKBH’
True, that is why halachah provides for leket, peah, shich’chah, maaser oni, shmittah, and penalizes ona’ah and geneivat da’at.
While this isn’t socialist, it is VERY far from laissez-faire.
