Re: Members of "Handsoff.org"

Yes but isn't there a hole in your free markets theory? You don't have to compete with the other business simply to gain profit, you introduce your set of spoons at the same price and sign a deal with the business partner and actually raise prices depending on each other to gain profits & market share.

So in general free market can go both way's good or bad. Even when the three problems you put that simply locks anyone else from entering the market. But that does not generally mean that prices will go lower simply because there is more competitors. That's basically taking a risk saying that the next competitor will offer lower rates than other's that when in real world experiences I have seen new competitors come and offer almost exactly the same rates and are only a few cents or exact duplicates as others.

The business makes it another option but it does not bring down prices of the actual product. There is once in a few year's you see things change. For example MetroPCS that's a highly competitive business and it's rapidly expanding because they allow users to talk as much as they want. Unlike other providers who go with minute plans.

Free market to me just means everyone is allowed to do as they wish, but at the same time things could skyrocket or could sink. There is no system of check and balances in that system. If there was then it would make a lot more sense to me.

Eventually, someone will be greedy enough to try to expand their market share (or get into the business in the first place and undercut the competition). As long as the price of entry into the industry isn't too high, there will always be someone trying to steal your customers.
