	Free Market Center
		FREE MARKET CENTER (FMC) is a non-profit, tax exempt center (NGO) dedicated to researching and broadening ideas related to free market economy.
		Its program is consistent with classical principles of individual liberty, free market economy, limited government and peaceful cooperation.
		To that end, the FMC strives to achieve greater involvement not only of leading liberal authors but also of the intelligent, concerned lay public, entrepreneurs, policy makers and students in questions of market policy and the proper role of government.

	What Is the Free Market? - Mises Institute
		The free market also gives the largest possible scope to entrepreneurs, who risk capital to allocate resources so as to satisfy the future desires of the mass of consumers as efficiently as possible.
		It is robbery, not free markets, that actually follows the mercantilist model: the robber benefits at the expense of the coerced.
		This means that the key to the existence and flourishing of the free market is a society in which the rights and titles of private property are respected, defended, and kept secure.

	Historical Capitalism vs. The Free Market
		Röpke's distinction between the principle of a capitalist or market economy and the historical forms in which capitalism has manifested itself in various times is as important now in the post-Soviet socialist era of the 1990s as when he presented his argument during the zenith of Nazi socialism in the 1940s.
		As a consequence, even before all of the implications and requirements for a free-market economy could be fully appreciated and implemented in the 19th century, it was being opposed and subverted by the residues of feudal privilege and mercantilist ideology.
		And even as the proponents of the market economy were proclaiming their victory over oppressive and intrusive government in the middle of the 19th century, now forces of collectivist reaction were arising in the form of socialism and communism.

	Free market at AllExperts
		The notion of a free market is closely associated with laissez-faire economic philosophy, which advocates approximating this condition in the real world by mostly confining government intervention in economic matters to regulating against force and fraud among market participants.
		The consensus among economic historians is that the free market economy is a specific historic phenomenon, and that it emerged in late mediaeval and early-modern Europe.
		In a truly free market economy, money would not be monopolized by legal tender laws or by a central money maker authority which coerces society to use its own money as the unique medium of exchange in trades, in order to receive taxes from the transactions or to be able to issue loans.

	Market economy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The theoretical model of a large-scale free market economy does not occur legally, however the underground economy may be seen as an actualized free market economy.
		Rather a free market economy, is one where government intervention is limited to protecting property rights and maintaining a peaceful environment for the market to function (otherwise known as laissez-faire).
		Studies by the Canadian "conservative" free market oriented Fraser Institute, the American "conservative" free market oriented Heritage Foundation, and the Wall Street Journal state that there is a relationship between economic freedom and political and civil freedoms to the extent claimed by Friedrich von Hayek.

		The consensus among economic historians is that the free market economy is a specific historic phenomenon, and that it emerged in late mediaeval and early-modern Europe.
		In Europe, the term 'liberalism' retains its connotation as the ideology of the free market, but in American usage it came to be associated with government intervention, and acquired a pejorative meaning for supporters of the free market.

		A free market is an economic model wherein market exchanges are free from coercion and control except for guardianship which allows for private property (e.g.
		However, "free" must not be confused with anarchism in which coercion by strong individuals or mobs is a constant threat.

	Free-market forces favor public good, not privilege
		It is important to understand the difference between advocating the free market as a process and advocating special treatment for businesses.
		If markets are to minimize waste and efficiently protect the environment, people must bear the costs of their actions.
		Market principles favor the environment because many environmental problems arise when people are isolated from the costs of their actions.

	Polling Critic #7 - Free Markets - Alan F. Kay, PhD
		When placed in front of "markets", "free" helped sell the myth that the markets buttressing the world's most successful economy are self-regulating and need minimal — preferably no government rules, standards or oversight.
		A search under "stock market" found 1095 questions going back to 1937 (a low point of the depression) and reaching a peak rate of 62 questions in the short period, July 18th to August 6th, during the lows of the market collapse of 2002.
		There were none on whether the collapse of the stock market reduced support for the myth of the free market.

	AlterNet: Free Market Debunked
		The conservative belief in "free markets" is a bit like the Catholic Church's insistence that the Earth was at the center of the solar system in the 12th century.
		Businesses that use the "free market" are protected by police and fire departments provided by government, and send their communications -- from phone to fax to internet -- over lines that follow public rights-of-way maintained and protected by government.
		When government gives up these functions, the middle class vanishes and we return to the Dickens-era "normal" form of totally free market conservative economics where the rich get richer while the working poor are kept in a constant state of fear and anxiety so the cost of their labor will always be cheap.

	Mutualist Blog: Free Market Anti-Capitalism
		Most of the examples of "free market reform" Klein describes could be more accurately described as "economic fascism." What passes for "free market reform," "deregulation," and "privatization" among the neoliberals is probably at least as statist as the various social democratic and mixed economy models to which neoliberalism is opposed.
		Although she seems aware that what the neoliberal politicians and journalists call the "free market" agenda is in fact a highly statist form of corporatism, she does not seem to be aware that their use of the free market label is heavily contested by a genuine, philosophically consistent strand of free market thought.
		In a genuine free market, organized around the principle of equal exchange and free from special privilege, the natural tendency is for prices to fall to production cost and for short-term entrepreneurial profits for innovative behavior to fall to zero as competitors enter the market and adopt new techniques.

	Defense Services on the Free Market
		Thus, there has been general neglect of the fact that free exchange means exchange of titles of ownership to property, and that, therefore, the economist is obliged to inquire into the conditions and the nature of the property ownership that would obtain in the free society.
		A supply of defense services on the free market would mean maintaining the axiom of the free society, namely, that there be no use of physical force except in defense against those using force to invade person or property.
		Thus, a truly free market is totally incompatible with the existence of a State, an institution that presumes to "defend" person and property by itself subsisting on the unilateral coercion against private property known as taxation.

	Democratic Peace: The Free Market as Utopia
		As a freedomist, I often despair of intellectuals ever seeing the free market as it really is. First, the name for it that has stuck like glue is “capitalism,” which immediately shunts perspective onto the track of wealth, huge corporations, capital formation, and such.
		This is comparable to the free market, through innovation and competition, bringing the price of a new automobile in 1960 down to the cost of a new shirt today -- which makes one wonder what the price of an automobile now would be without any government regulations on its production and quality.
		This is the fruit of people being free to search and think of ways they can satisfy the needs or desires of others, and to invest their time and resources in trying to do so.

		In the 1970s, free market economists argued that ranchers’ fear of livestock losses would be addressed if those who wanted to reintroduce wolves would agree to compensate ranchers who suffered economic loss due to predators.
		Free market environmental policies would establish property rights, where possible, so as to internalize “externalities.” In some cases, FME proponents would counsel more modest steps.
