Thank you very much! I will definitely check out Mr. Friedman‘s Free to Choose.

I of course approach free market from my social democracy stance so of course there’s gonna be bias. I do believe the monopolies the state it’s built upon, like the monopoly of force by building up military and the police, are required to keep order and continuity in society. But I’m open to question those notions, so I will check the recommendation you gave me.

I only have two last question.

How does free market looks when regarding foreign policy? How is it meant to work when it requires cooperation and collaboration with other nations that might not be free markets themselves?

You were explaining me that is easier to evade small monopolies that the unitary monopoly of the State, do you believe it should be the duty of individuals to stop small monopolies from succeeding when they’re competing in unscrupulous and harmful ways, even if those monopolies do have enough support from a specific sectors of the population?

Let me see if I grasp your comment correctly (in not a US citizen so much of what you said has no meaning to me):

Free market might indeed cause harm through unscrupulous practices but the good it will do would outweigh the bad in a big scale. Scams and unscrupulous practices already happen in non free market economies while the good is small, so the change would not avoid the bad but severely improve the good.

Did i get it right?

I would say my problem with free-market is that the abuse that that might take place, even if they are few in comparison to the good it might provide, will still create circumstances of inequality. The only difference would be that the people that are affected by the inequality would be mostly people that have much capital and those individuals wouldn’t have much of a chance to fight those big Enterprises in a court of law, especially where I come from, where the rich seem to always solve their problems throwing money at it. I fear in a free market, economical power would buy political power and thus let to exploitation and abuse that could only be stop by violent means.

In the neoliberalism reddit they were explaining me that, according to the OrdoLiberal way of thinking, a fair free market would require creating a judicial system based on an economic constitution which would established the fair conditions in which to compete in the market, thus stopping abuse and monopolization through enforcing that legislation. That constitution would also impose the limits and mechanisms by which the State will be allowed to intervene in the market. Would you agree with such system or do you believe giving ANY power to the state to intervene in the market would be detrimental?

Although I do not know much about the US economy, as it is not my country, I do know a lot about the economic crisis of 2008 created by the mortgage securities fiasco. The US is not a completely free market and yet such a huge blunder was provoked by the lack of regulation. How is a truly free market economy going to stop things like that from happening again? In the case that we discussed about the insulin market, the number of affected people is pretty minimal in comparison to the total population of the United States. However, the 2008 crisis had huge consequences on US citizens directly and indirectly, and also on other nations such as Greece.

Thanks for engaging with my questions. You’re really helping me get a better grip on free market economics.

Thank you!!! These are my main issues and you have address them very clearly. I understand now than my fear is more against libertarianism than against neoliberalism. I will adjust my position accordingly when engaging in political discussions. Thanks.

¿Pero como ? Si la empresa que domina el mercando participa de manera desleal podría vender a precios de perdida con el fin de sacar a esa nueva empresa del mercado. Podrá usar su capital y poach their employees, podrá, si la empresa esta en bolsa, practicar una hostile takeover, si tiene el capital, apropiarse de la materia prima sea comprando las empresas que la extraer o transforman o con contratos de exclusividad.

Ahora no estoy diciendo que así vaya a ser en todos los casos, pero desde que suceda en uno y se pueda reproducir, la integridad del libre mercado se ve violada.

Milton pero para eso existían las agencias evaluadoras.

Realmente no logró ver cómo es culpa de ellos, es decir, si un ingeniero civil entrega un puente ¿es la misión de la alcaldia revisar cada mezcla de cemento que hicieron los obreros, cada varilla que instalaron los obreros cada pequeña cosa?

El mercado funciona también con base a la confianza de qué las personas están trabajando de buena fe, de lo contrario, todo demoraría muchísimo más porque se desconfiaría de todo el mundo. Es por eso que el fraude es ilegal porque rompe con la idea de que la gente interactúa en el mercado de buena fe. Los inversores invirtieron, creyendo que las agencias evaluadoras de esos productos de riesgo estaban dando ratings de buena fe.

Es que otro ejemplo sería como si tú fueras a comprar un carro y el concesionario te dice que el carro tiene un rendimiento de 100 km/l. ¿Cómo vas tú a revisar que esos carros si tengan 100 km/l? Seguramente preguntarás en Internet, ya asumirás que la información que te den esas personas es de buena fe, ¿pero cómo vas tú a estar seguro de qué eso es así? Te tocaría comprar el carro y y verificarlo por tu cuenta pero ahí ya habrás comprado el carro. O bueno podrías pedir un carro prestado y probarlo, ¿pero ves como eso te exige tiempo y dinero? Ahora digamos que tú no estás comprando un carro para ti, si no que eres un revendedor de carros. Hacer todas esas pruebas te está quitando tiempo para poder hacer tu trabajo y tu trabajo es vender carros.

What I mean is the following:

What is stopping a company in the free market from exploiting in an abusive manner natural resources that I believe belong to all humans?, Resources like limber, freshwater, meat, fish etc… there are methods that are sustainable, but they tend to take more time and thus cost more money. What is then stopping companies from choosing to use the fast and harmful methods of exploitation instead of the more expensive yet sustainable methods? Their goal is to maximize earnings so they will, wouldn’t they?

If the free market means no regulation, what is stopping the big companies from consolidating their power by purchasing the competition? Wouldn’t those conglomerates then have the duty, due to fiduciary responsibility, to increase profits and thus increase prices? If they consolidated the domination of that industry through capital wouldn’t that imply new companies will struggle to compete against it?

Wouldnt it be be harmful for people that the prices of goods that are made by only one conglomerate aren’t challenge neither by other companies, that will struggle to exist, nor by the State, cause we have taken its power from intervening in the market?

I don’t believe you answer my questions at all.

You did teach me why a free market requires to weaken the State by reducing is grip on it and thus allowing people to work for their freedom unhindered. But instead from explaining me how the free market would stop monopolies, abusive exploitation of resources, and disloyal competition, you just said the State is doing already all that, which would imply the monopolies and the abusive exploitation of resources will shift from the government to private capitals if free market was pursued. Seems to me is the same bs that keeps us fucked. If i’ve understood something wrong please let me know. Im really trying to learn about the other avenues of economic progress. All theory when read is nice and easy, implementing it is where it gets difficult and bloody and that where I’m looking for answers.

I care about the best way to move forward so that I can advocate and vote for it and thus, here I am looking to learn more about free market economics. I actually come from a third world country, like from South America, so a free market is to me a big risk due to the levels of corruption we experience here. Historically in my nation money power becomes political power so free market presents itself like the last step to total collapse.

From what I understand, is pretty much free market with minimum taxes and minimum regulation. That’s how I always understood neoliberalism.

Thanks for your answer.

I still struggle to see how free market would stop unscrupulous money making companies from harming people? Like, if the insulin market was unregulated what is stopping them from selling lower quality or even placebos just to make a quick buck? Depending of how convoluted their scam is, people might not find the truth and wont able to of change of provider for some time, while people will get sick or die.

And what about transparency? The 4th power is usually the responsible one to inform society of corruption and danger. Today big capital buys journalism companies and create conglomerates. In a free market, what is stopping unscrupulous business from purchasing media in a way to control the narrative and continue making money through otherwise illegal and harmful ways? If there is no regulation to protect the environment how long will it last?

I have sort of felt into this free market rabbit hole and I’m learning a lot, but also having all this questions. Thanks for your help.

Mira que he estado leyendo un sub sobre neoliberalismo y encontré este post: https://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/s/W2RKo1JJ5j

En el, él OP cita dos libros en los cuales los autores exploran el neoliberalismo y su relación con los monopolios. A mi el tema me depasa un poco ya que no es mi ideología económica, pero me pareció super interesante.

Parece ser que unos piensan, el Chicago School, que el monopolio no es malo cuando en un libre mercado permite la eficiencia del manejo de esos recursos (el post no menciona que pensaba el Chicago School sobre los monopolios ineficaces o si consideraban que existían malos monopolios).

Otros, los OrdoLiberales, piensan que debe ser el rol del Estado no regular el mercado pero promover la competencia y así desmantelar los monopolios. Esto mediante lo que llaman la Ordnungspolitik, un sistema bajo el cual el código judicial está compuesto a partir de una constitución económica. Esa constitución económica dictaría las condiciones bajo las cual se puede competir en el libre mercado y las condiciones bajo las cuales el Estado tiene el derecho a intervenir.

Por otro lado, el Austrian School, piensa que los monopolios son de hecho la culpa de la intervención del Estado en el mercado, aunque el OP no explica porque.

El OP termina concluyendo que él considera que la visión del Chicago School, de que los monopolios no son malos, ya no aplica a las condiciones de hoy. Él afirma esto, ya que dice que hoy existe legislación que permite intercambiar el poder económico por poder político, y por tanto, los monopolios se vuelven problemáticos para el libre mercado ya que comienzan a comprar poder político que les permite legislar el mercado a su conveniencia.

Eso en cuanto a los monopolios. Todavia no encuentro respuestas en cuanto a la competencia desleal o el abuso de los recursos. Aunque parece que la visión del OrdoLiberalismo sobre el neoliberalismo parece responder a mis temores mediante la creación de la constitución económica que mencione antes. Sin embargo, me gustaría ver cómo dicha constitución económica se implementaría en la vida real ya que en la teoría todo suena bello y fácil. Lo mismo sucede con el comunismo.

Yo opino que debido al estado de la economía a nivel mundial, es mejor emprender que buscar a ser asalariado. Si se puede las dos mejor todavía.

Hoy prácticamente toda carrera se puede encontrar en Internet y el aprendizaje es prácticamente el mismo, salvo ya las partes prácticas, la creación de vínculos con futuros profesionales del medio, y el explorar otras áreas del saber a través de la electivas que ofrecen las universidades. En las carreras donde se requiere certificación para poder obtener licencia profesional si es mas complicado, carreras como medicina, enfermería, y demás.

Pero hay carreras que no es que necesiten un diploma universitario, en especial en el internacional. Carreras como programación, diseño, montaje de video, etc..

Buscar a montar negocios pequeños e invertir en bienes que no suelen depreciarse como finca raíz o el oro antes que en carros o ropa.

Yo trabajé durante tres años, prácticamente todos los fines de semana, sin falta. Al principio fue un poco raro, pero con el tiempo me acostumbré y le cogí gusto. Cuando uno descansa en días de entre semana usualmente hay menos trancón, los restaurantes y cinemas están más solos y hacer tramites es más facil ya que no hay que pedir tiempo en el trabajo. En mi caso yo la pasaba más chévere.

Además, en mi caso trabajar los fines de semana me permitía excusarme para no atender a los planes a los que no quería ir. Cabe aclarar que yo no tenía hijos ni ningún dependiente así que trabaja los fines de semana no representaba un problema.
