When Free Markets Aren't Really Free
Here's a provocative truth: there's no such thing as a truly free market. Every market operates within boundaries we've simply learned to accept. Consider 19th-century Britain, where factory owners argued that "labour ought to be free" when reformers proposed banning work for children under nine. Today, even the most ardent capitalists accept child labor laws as normal. What changed wasn't economics-it was our values. Markets resemble kung fu movies where masters appear to defy gravity while suspended on invisible wires. These hidden supports include restrictions on what can be traded, who can participate, and under what conditions. Even supposedly fundamental features like wages are politically determined through immigration policies. When Republican Senator Jim Bunning complained that nationalizing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac was something that would only happen in "socialist" France, President Bush shortly after implemented the $700 billion TARP program while claiming it remained consistent with free-market principles. This reveals that no scientifically defined boundary for free markets exists-just political choices we've normalized into invisibility.
