[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 896494, member: 2189"] You could call it that but does it involve force or fraud? If ultimately it does, then the classical liberal traditions of the free market have been violated and thus is it true free market? I say no but if you see marketing force or fraud as OK then so be it. I can then at least understand why you continue to support and defend the existing system that we do have since it is built on that axiom of force and fraud (non transparency) to begin with. For those here who oppose the force and the fraud in the system, Sheldon Richman, editor of The Freeman Online is writing a continuing series on [URL="http://www.thefreemanonline.org/columns/tgif/social-cooperation-part-3/"][COLOR=#ff0000]"Social Cooperation"[/COLOR][/URL] and how the free market is dependent on such. The link is Pt.3 but it has links to pt. 1 and 2 in the article and it all begins with the fact that the great economist Ludwig Von Mises almost titled his Magnum Opus Human Action as Social Cooperation instead. Even the monopoly of violence by the state ie a compulsory police force is a violation of true free market principles. So in that sense Trplnkl, no, the monopoly police force engaging in market actions that any of the rest of us if we engaged in these same cops would arrest us is not free market. It's market violence and even worse is that these guns just like the drugs pumped into the black neighborhoods on the west coast to create customers for the cops so they can maintain an ever increasing profit line. Would the ever addition of law after law after law be really about market sustainablilty and increasing profit lines than about promoting the idea of good society? BTW: I've placed Social Cooperation before the Occupy Atlanta folks so we'll see. :wink2: [/QUOTE]
