Antithetical as compared to what? Markets are imperfect, but consistently drive innovation and improvement that benefits consumers. What's your better alternative?
- rosser 8y agoI wasn't aware I had to propose a better alternative in order to be allowed to offer a critique.

- rosser 8y agoI'm sure that's quite clever, but it's utterly orthogonal to my point.
- Matticus_Rex 8y agoNot really. Whether something "works" or not is a relative thing. If it works really well compared to all the alternatives, it's not a loose definition of "works." Yes, markets suffer from imperfect information and various other ailments. You can find issues with the solutions to all problems, and while it's occasionally interesting to talk about those problems, the real question is whether you can find better solutions.
