The two academics take very different views of free trade. Carl Christian, former head of the Germany's Monopoly Commission, holds F.A. Hayek's approach to "competition as a discovery process" in high regard. Business should be given precedence over politics in solving the world's problems because its orientation is longer-term and it is more conducive to change. For instance, "politics' status-quo orientation is keeping [the Kyoto Protocol] from being ratified," page 168, especially in OECD countries, which are unwilling to forego further economic growth, as would be required to pay the international emissions tax, the only form of sanctions that the Kyoto Protocol should be empowered to impose.)
