Because there's a certain subset here on HN that believe just about any problem could be solved if only the free market was allowed to operate without restriction or government intervention. I have on occasion run into them like running into a brick wall.
- imtringued 6y agoIt's the opposite. You don't need to regulate the free market itself. You have to properly regulate society itself so that the free market can actually align incentives with desired results. Government intervention can be fully compatible with the free market if the government acts as a market participant.
