Yeah, but it is not like even they get to decide, competition with other capitalists dictates their decisions. Free Market is one of those ironic names, like when a big guy is called "Tiny" by his friends.
The "free market" is a weird name for the style of economy where a few people own all of the productive capacity, and therefore dictate how and what we produce.

That's why those at the top will never make genuine progress or change - they are driven by the system - they are not the drivers. Change comes from below, from the working class, who are at the coal face of capitalist ineffiency & contradiction every day.

The market is not free. There is no such thing as a free market. Even Adam Smith wrote that it is insane not to follow the dictates of the market. By creating a system which encourages supply for need over greed, then you have a system that encourages freedom.

Without a government to enforce currency, property rights, and contracts, there can be no “free” market.

wrong wrong wrong wrong. wrongity wrong. all kinds of products are made by all kinds of people. big ones, small ones. most of them fail. few succeed. what fails is every bit as important and instructive as what succeeds.

You take that back right now! Everyone knows human nature began in the 1700's when Adam Smith invented homo economicus. Freedom is absolute, it's the definition of "people" that's... fungible
