 Free market - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When applied to the market, as an ethical justification, they are appealing primarily to its intrinsic value as a self-organising entity.
Internationally, free markets are advocated by proponents of economic liberalism; in Europe this is usually simply called liberalism.
The free market can be seen as facilitating a form of decision-making through what is known as dollar voting, where a purchase of a product is tantamount to casting a vote for a producer to continue producing that product.

 AlterNet: Free Market Debunked
Markets are a creation of government, just as corporations exist only by authorization of government.
When government gives up these functions, the middle class vanishes and we return to the Dickens-era "normal" form of totally free market conservative economics where the rich get richer while the working poor are kept in a constant state of fear and anxiety so the cost of their labor will always be cheap.
In actual fact, there is no such thing as a "free market." Markets are the creation of government.

 Free Market, by Murray N. Rothbard: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
The free market and the free price system make goods from around the world available to consumers.
But as a society develops, a step-by-step process of mutual benefit creates a situation in which one or two broadly useful and valuable commodities are chosen on the market as a medium of indirect exchange.
There was neither incentive nor means of calculating prices and costs for hopper cars to get to the wheat, for the flour mills to receive and process it, and so on down through the large number of stages needed to reach the ultimate consumer in Moscow or Sverdlovsk.

 Big Pharma: free market economics run amok
As Americans, most of us are taught the same: that the free market is the best system in the world; that it produces more goods and services for consumers; that it raises the standard of living; that it works better than centrally-planned economies, and so on.
What I've realized is that when there is sufficient market domination by any industry to the point where government regulators and the popular press is bought off, the traditional checks and balances of the free market are thrown out the window.
The power of the free market doesn't stand up to the reality of collusion between private industry and government.

In reality, this is the extent to which a free market exists since there will always be government intervention in the form of taxes, price controls and restrictions that prevent new competitors from entering a market.

 TomPaine.com - Wal-Mart's Free Market Fallacy
Truth is, Wal-Mart could not survive in a real free market: It would, for example, have to pay Chinese workers more (which would ruin its low-wage business model) and spurn any offers of government subsidies.
Wal-Mart is happy to cash in on government largess like property tax abatements, infrastructure support, free land and just straight-out cold cash—all of which are the antithesis of “free market” ideology.
By ignoring free market principles, the left-wing Harvard Business School estimates that Wal-Mart reduces its procurement costs by 10-20 percent, primarily by taking advantage of the artificially suppressed labor market in China.

 Education: Free-Market Education
Instead, a government-imposed monopoly on education now undermines market efficiency and jeopardizes moral instruction, often resulting in substandard schools, especially in poor and urban areas, which all can agree is tantamount to a crisis.
It is morally troubling to deny certain people educational choices because the government has set aside their tax dollars exclusively for a public school.
In addition, those who warn that vouchers or tax credits will not cover transportation costs of students need to keep this in mind: a competitive market will invite a number of new schools to open across existing districts.

 MILTON FRIEDMAN AND FREE-MARKET CAPITALISM. Free term papers for college, book reports and research papers. Welcome to ...
Instead of being so involved in the market, he believes that the government has a responsibility to keep a high standard of living through certain functions like defense, education, and public utilities and set certain laws regarding economic policy in order to keep in check the "game" of economics.
Most of Friedman's peers are not able to put that same amount of confidence in the ability of the market as he.
Whereas Friedman's conservative views would say that governmental intervention was would make the market fail, Bowles would rather find a balance between the centralized planning of government and the competitive markets of our society.

Republicans in Congress are also looking at expanding their current agenda of free market health care.
So, citizens who chose not to murder anybody might sell their credits on the murder market, and those citizens who wanted to kill somebody would have the ability to buy the necessary amount of murder credits in order to avoid punishment.
At a recent press conference announcing the broad spectrum of Republican market-based solutions to be implemented over the next four years, Dr. Appardon was asked whether the wisdom of the free market might be used to defuse the controversy over same-sex marriage, through a system by which same-sex couples could purchase the right to wed.

Clinton's gospel, then, is that the taxpayer should provide massive welfare payments to investors and their agents, safely protected within their totalitarian institutions from interference by public or workforce, pursuing profit and market share as they choose, by "job-creating investments" abroad if that suits their interests.
Hardly a day passes without acclaim for the exciting new idea of the New World Order: free market capitalism that will liberate the energies of active and creative people, for the benefit of all.
This standard pattern under Western tutelage, perhaps the most persuasive example of maximization of utility and efficient use of resources under free market conditions, should gain more respect than it does.

When I was at a free market economics conference in Turkey recently, the students never, not once, challenged any of the economic views that were presented by the speakers.
The problem is that western liberals—and I'm using "liberal" in the European sense—have alienated themselves from their potential Muslim counterparts by abandoning the anti-imperialism that is rightly part of the liberal tradition.
The way to do that is through the method that was applied in the earliest Islamic political entity.

Therefore, those who support the free market and truly want to help consumers often must labor alone and battle big corporate interests.
Consequently, those who expect big businesses to support the free market are constantly betrayed.
Big businesses are even known to support tax and regulatory policies that harm their own industries -- provided that they could get some loophole for themselves so that their competitors are hurt worse.
