- WalterBright 7y agoMy intent was straightforward. There is a case for the free market, but the current school system does not expose the students to it. My father's students had never heard it, and I'd never heard it from the schools I went to, either. It's a little sad, being as we live in a free market system.

- dragonwriter 7y ago> but the current school system does not expose the students to it That's not at all my experience, where the case for it is the core of both high school and introductory college economics, as well as frequently being touched on in the history and civics curricula. > It's a little sad, being as we live in a free market system. No, we don't.
