I'm not sure government incentives allow the free market to do its work, then. Why would you think it would?

  government incentives help to reduce the externalities You seem to think that two companies selling product A will rather sell 50 for $10 per unit profit than 100 for $9 per unit profit because it's easier. I mean, it's a view, sure.

    It's not my view, though. I already said what I think is more likely to happen.

    > You seem to think that two companies selling product A will rather sell 50 for $10 per unit profit than 100 for $9 per unit profit because it's easier. If the numbers are closer, then that's exactly what happens. Would you rather sell 50 units for $19 per unit or 100 for $10 per unit? Option 1 gives you way less overhead and headache with cheap-o customers.
