- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- Terr_ 2y agoThat reminds me of another... well, I'm not sure how to best-categorize this gripe, it might be less of a pretty-lie and more like two contradictory hypotheticals marching under one banner, but: 1. "According to economics, the Free Market™ will be optimally-efficient. (Because of perfect-information about all the prices and deals other people are making.)" 2. "According to economics, the Free Market™ naturally resists cartels. (Because defectors are tempted to secret side-deals with hidden prices.)"
