    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.

      I agree 😇 free market leads to one big monopoly which decides anything for anyone. Regulation is needed all the time, as we saw (and see) with Microsoft and now with Apple, Amazon, Google etc.
