Kintaro:
Might just be a lot of red tape on the system (would not suprise me, UK and all) stopping little companies. I've never heard of a "big" construction company in Australia for suburban homes. They're usually middle size companies, which sometimes might use a design from a bigger company under licence.

You might not need a socialist idea to get those big companies out, just a big review of all the red tape that might make it impossible for the smaller companies, which is essentially a free market idea that promotes competition and gets rid of Big $. Too many people seem to see libertarians like myself as for big business, actually it's really quite the opposite. Big government is the best friend big business has. Without all the red tape they're doomed to mediocrity.

Kintaro:
Except from a comment of mine from a debate on Facebook.

Lets think about the term "society." Is it a machine that creates without ambitions? No it is not. It is generally a functioning group of people that on the most part exercise civil virtue. Now for someone to get the benefits of society which they are a small part of they need the benefit [note the word, not trade... benefit] of other people.

Justice in a liberal sense once meant an equal right to live your own life - without impeding the rights of others. There is no fathomable way this perversion of justice called "social justice" can ever be achieved without restricting someone else by requiring they benefit someone something they are incapable of producing or compensating for by the very reason they are incapable of producing it or compensating for it.
