RE: Are there any truly free markets? Win 50 SP.

in #economics8 years ago

Hello, @uwelang,

Reviewing the article you pointed out, I find that by its own admission, virtually all of the arguments presented there are traceable to the state as the root cause of the problems described.

Even perhaps the most superficially compelling argument in the article, that "supermarkets" have brought about the decline and fall of family farming and mom and pop food suppliers, can be traced to the often overlooked underlying fact that a supermarket is a corporation created under the authority of the state and that enjoys the protection of the state.

My conclusion?

We need to remove the state from the equation in order to see a truly free market in practice, not only in theory.

Sort:  

absolutely, remove the state and you have (eventually) a free market
