Sorry, it's never a good idea to base real life policy on ideological dogma. The "free market philosophy" has some good ideas, as well as a lot of bad ones. We shouldn't blindly follow its "dictates."
In my experience, the people who dogmatically preach the free market frequently have an oversimplified understanding or use circular logic to conclude the free market is good by redefining good as whatever the free market does.

- rvba 2y agoMost of the "free market" people dont understand that many markets can be cornered and oligopolies (or duo- or even mono-) can form. A lot of the stuff assumes that it is 1850 and everyone can buy land and farm potatoes. With "unlimited" land and tens of thousands conpetitors. No barriers of entry too. And Im pro market.
