    Its not even a free market. Check the protectionism keeping Chinese EVs out of the US. Its more like the land of corporate profits.

      There’s no such thing as a free market unless you’re talking about places like Somolia where there is no government.

        That’s an unregulated market. It’s a bit counterintuitive, but an idealized free market would need to be free of price fixing and monopolization, and therefore requires regulation.

        That’s what all these invisible hand folk always get wrong.

        Free Market is to economics what The American Dream is to immigrants and citizens.

        Reality inevitably shines a harsh light on both.
