Now you've changed the topic. Free Market and Capitalism aren't the same thing. Capitalism exists, free markets do not. We're talking about a specific theory in the Austrian School.
The task is still on you to demonstrate how the free market isn't a fiction.
- nickpp 6y agoNo, the task is still on you to defend your strange belief in the nonexistence of free markets. I went into a small one this very morning, to buy some apples and eggs. Looked very real to me. And free: nobody told the sellers at which price to sell and nobody made me buy if I didn’t like it.
- kristopolous 6y agoThat's just a market. Markets have existed forever - that's just a transaction of goods or services. Free markets are a specific definition with specific conditions.
- nickpp 6y agoYeah, I am using the generally accepted and recognized meaning in conversations around the world. I am not interested in the current trend of twisting the definition of a word until it fits your preconceived notions.
- kristopolous 6y agoThe existence of markets isn't being contested. If that's what you mean then sure. Markets exist. We can both move on with our days now.
