	Free market - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In economics and politics, a free market is a controversial concept of an idealised economic system and political environment wherein exchanges are "free" of coercive measures such as tariffs, excess taxation, regulations, and restrictions —particularly in regard to rectifying differences in labour laws.
		Since no national economy in existence fully manifests the ideal of a free market as theorized by economists and ethicists, the term "free market economy" is used for a nation state's economy that approximates the ideal by virtue of having a government that engages in little or no interventionist economic regulation.
		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.

	Free Market, by Murray N. Rothbard: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
		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.
		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.

	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.

	Big Pharma: free market economics run amok
		As Americans, most of us are taught the same: that the free market is the best system in the world; that it produces more goods and services for consumers; that it raises the standard of living; that it works better than centrally-planned economies, and so on.
		What I've realized is that when there is sufficient market domination by any industry to the point where government regulators and the popular press is bought off, the traditional checks and balances of the free market are thrown out the window.
		And so the classical theories of free market economics we've all been taught are ideal in theory.

	Mutualist.Org: Free Market Anti-Capitalism
		Because of our fondness for free markets, mutualists sometimes fall afoul of those who have an aesthetic affinity for collectivism, or those for whom "petty bourgeois" is a swear word.
		Our ultimate vision is of a society in which the economy is organized around free market exchange between producers, and production is carried out mainly by self-employed artisans and farmers, small producers' cooperatives, worker-controlled large enterprises, and consumers' cooperatives.
		The "market," in the sense of exchanges of labor between producers, is a profoundly humanizing and liberating concept.

	Free Market
		In foreign-exchange markets, it is a market where exchange rates are not pegged (by government) and thus rise and fall freely though supply and demand for currency.
		Just like supply-side economics, free market is a term used to describe a political or ideological viewpoint on policy and is not a field within economics.
		In reality, this is the extent to which a free market exists since there will always be government intervention in the form of taxes, price controls and restrictions that prevent new competitors from entering a market.

	Education: Free-Market Education
		School choice alternatives that permit free exchange and association are more in accord with a Christian conception of freedom and the centrality of the parent to their children’s education.
		Instead, a government-imposed monopoly on education now undermines market efficiency and jeopardizes moral instruction, often resulting in substandard schools, especially in poor and urban areas, which all can agree is tantamount to a crisis.
		In addition, those who warn that vouchers or tax credits will not cover transportation costs of students need to keep this in mind: a competitive market will invite a number of new schools to open across existing districts.

	Environmentalism, Free-Market, by Richard Stroup: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
		Proponents argue that free markets can be more successful than government—and have been more successful historically—in solving many environmental problems.
		Using the market, such groups do not have to convince the majority that their project is desirable, nor do they have to fight the majority in choosing how to manage the site.
		For markets to work in the environmental field, as in any other, rights to each important resource must be clearly defined, easily defended against invasion, and divestible (transferable) by owners on terms agreeable to buyer and seller.

	Free market solutions spread
		The same people would also be free, of course, to make the market-based decision to remain in their homes, and give birth to three-headed children before dying at the age of 28.
		In this way, explains Hart, free market mechanics would ensure that only those people who were really worth killing would be murdered, and the current practice of senseless killing would come to an end.
		At a recent press conference announcing the broad spectrum of Republican market-based solutions to be implemented over the next four years, Dr. Appardon was asked whether the wisdom of the free market might be used to defuse the controversy over same-sex marriage, through a system by which same-sex couples could purchase the right to wed.

	TAP: Vol 14, Iss. 4. Free Market Furies. Sasha Polakow-Suransky.
		Turning the Washington Consensus on its head, Chua contends that the simultaneous introduction of unfettered free markets and rudimentary democracy can lead to disaster in countries where small "market-dominant minorities" control a disproportionate share of the nation's wealth and arouse the vengeance of resentful majorities.
		Even if the pattern isn't universal, Chua has identified a major risk of the current free-market orthodoxy.
		For more than a decade, the received wisdom in those precincts has held that free markets and rapid democratization represent the one and only legitimate path to economic development.

		Free market capitalist economics is arguably the most powerful tool ever used by civilization.
		As the world's leading exemplar of free market economics, the US has a special obligation to discover effective ways of using the power of market forces to help save the environment.
		But markets are actually very effective at allocating resources and in insuring sustainability--provided that those resources are marketed.

		In other words, in the unanimous chorus of the bond market, California’s is the less likely to continuously pay its debts by creating new businesses, jobs and tax revenue than Wyoming, Vermont, or any other state in the country.

	TomPaine.com - Wal-Mart's Free Market Fallacy
		In the mythical world of the free market—for which Wal-Mart supposedly serves as a shining example—prices for goods and labor should rise and fall based on the magic of the “invisible hand” of market supply and demand.
		By ignoring free market principles, the left-wing Harvard Business School estimates that Wal-Mart reduces its procurement costs by 10-20 percent, primarily by taking advantage of the artificially suppressed labor market in China.
		Truth is, Wal-Mart could not survive in a real free market: It would, for example, have to pay Chinese workers more (which would ruin its low-wage business model) and spurn any offers of government subsidies.

	MILTON FRIEDMAN AND FREE-MARKET CAPITALISM. Free term papers for college, book reports and research papers. Welcome to Master Essays
		Instead of being so involved in the market, he believes that the government has a responsibility to keep a high standard of living through certain functions like defense, education, and public utilities and set certain laws regarding economic policy in order to keep in check the "game" of economics.
		Friedman "thought that markets promoted self-interest or greedy behavior, which brought destruction to the community." (Wisman 5) Samuel Bowles is considered a radical economist.
		These suspicions are based on his belief in a limited government and that a capitalist economy free of government interference would provide the best choices for a consumer.

	Free Market Fraud by John Kenneth Galbraith
		That is the presumption of a market economy separate from the state.
		Instead of the owners of capital or their attendants in control, we have the admirably impersonal role of market forces.
		Most economists concede a stabilizing role to the state, even those who urgently seek an escape from reality by assigning a masterful and benign role to Alan Greenspan and the central bank.

	Anti-State.com : Common Property in Free Market Anarchism: A Missing Link, by Carlton Hobbs
		Free market anarchism has too often been described as "private property anarchism" where supposedly all property is privately owned.
		At this point any free market anarchist should see the legitimacy of this common ownership over what some socialists would (improperly) call the private property of the Czar.

		Appended to Friedman's lead story "Clinton Preaches Open Markets at Summit" the next day was a brief notice of "deadly accidents involving fire and poisonous gas" that had killed 100 workers "in booming Guandong Province," widely hailed as a free market model.
		This standard pattern under Western tutelage, perhaps the most persuasive example of maximization of utility and efficient use of resources under free market conditions, should gain more respect than it does.
		Hardly a day passes without acclaim for the exciting new idea of the New World Order: free market capitalism that will liberate the energies of active and creative people, for the benefit of all.

		On the other hand there is one free market idea that is very hard and almost impossible to sell to Muslims.
		The problem is that western liberals—and I'm using "liberal" in the European sense—have alienated themselves from their potential Muslim counterparts by abandoning the anti-imperialism that is rightly part of the liberal tradition.
