Más de The Angry Economist sobre los mercados libres:

There is no such thing as an unregulated market, however. The term "free market" is a bit of misnomer. Participants in a free market are not free to do anything they want. If you fail to make a product that people choose to buy, that is a freedom you will find unavailable in a free market.

Let us be clear: there are markets which are regulated by politicians, and there are markets which are regulated by customers. There are no unregulated markets. There are no free markets. There are only markets in which customers are free to reward or punish businesses, and markets in which customers are prevented from rewarding or punishing businesses.

  1. si lo regulan las personas SON mercados libres. Porque la palabra libres se refiere a las personas.

    en un mercado regulado, dos personas no pueden intercambiar entre ellas con libertad, porque están obligadas a una gran lista de normas, retricciones y peor aún hasta de habilitaciones.

    en un mercado regulado yo puedo haber conseguido las computadoras, me pueden haber prestado un local, tengo todo el potencial para abrir un cibercafé, pero si no junto la torta de plata para que me lo habiliten no puedo empezar así otras personas esten deseosas de ser mis clientes.

  2. No hay que confundir mercado libre con libertinaje de mercado.
