Book Reviews of Freedomnomics: Why the Free Market Works and Other Half-Baked Theories Don't

Book Review: *What* "Free Markets?"
Summary: 1 Stars

I have to pay for everything.

All kidding aside, "free" markets depend on an ignorant, divided set of consumers to survive.

They depend on an uneven distribution of political power.

They defend on the fiction that a corporation is a "person." (Funny how those right-to-lifers don't howl about that one.)

Of course Lott ignores all of this; so you might say his product is a defective product which reasaonably can be assumed that its purpose was to defend manufacturers of defective products.

So, just like any other toxic waste, don't encourge an increase in landfills.

Skip this right wing propaganda.
