I disagree. A runaway free market just makes the rich richer, and the poor have toxic waste dumped on them by international shipping countries with near-impunity.

What are you calling a runaway market?

I'm not saying free market means no rules... There still needs to be a rule of law for the market and individuals alike

Well there's a huge difference between free market vs. decentralization.

Decantralization is "free market" in the proper sense. ie. No Rules. It creates the most wealth but also the most poverty and extreme unequality.

Free Market is where every individual can do whatever they want with the markets under the rules. Ie. what we have in Canada right now.


I still think socialist theory can be better added to the free market for greater equality (ie. tax the rich more severely) but ever since my trip to the Ukraine I can't think of Communism seriously.

You can't go killing people in a free market... I guess free markets don't exist

When I (and probably most people) say free market we are thinking the freedom to trade/buy/sell goods and services without any restriction. From a libertarian stand point that applies to social issues as well like abortion, drugs, whatever. But of course there are things everyone can agree on like not murdering and stealing and stuff like that

Yeah, I know. Its just when I saw you say free market, and then rules, it kind of popped into my head without really thinking lol.

As I said, brain fart lol

Since this has turned into the "ideological warfare over anything" thread, I'll whack up a post tomorrow about why I disagree with the free market.

Thankyou for the well reasoned, backed up and thought out post raising some interesting points.

Now sod off. If you do not have anything interesting, intelligent or useful to add keep you mouth shut. I hope you could read my condescending tone.
