So in the end, what you're saying is that he's right? I took his comment as a broad generalization, not some flippant slogan via "free market is a fantasy economics concept pretty much exclusive to all who read Ayn Rand and vote Ron Paul". But you already knew that.
- forgingahead 12y agoNo, he did a great job of explaining that it's not one or the other, which is what the earlier comment quite blatantly made a claim of.
- bduerst 12y agoNo they didn't. They narrowly defined a word that has many definitions while demonstrating outrage at any other meaning. While they are technically correct in a textbook sense, their idea of a "True" free market has never existed in the context of this conversation, and it can be argued that price collusion between suppliers for a market is the natural result of free markets.
