edit: remove snark > The "libertarian" solution is to provide a marketplace where drivers can sell their services to riders. States create solutions. The libertarian "solution" is to do nothing and let the interactions happen organically. This could mean a marketplace, it could mean other things. It really depends on what people want, the locality, technology available, etc. And sometimes people actually want a monopoly and are happy with that. Facebook is practically a monopoly and I don't think people want 2 main social networks. > Uber pretends to do this, but with a distinct difference. Uber sets all the prices. Therefore, Uber is anything BUT a free market. I agree that Uber by itself is definitely not a free market place. I'll take your word that their marketing paints a different picture--seems likely.
