Matty <<The free market, without government regulation, cannot survive as a free market.>> That sentence is a logical oxymoron. ie. FREE can't stay free unless it is made UNFREE. Thus, government regulation is the sine qua non for free markets. I say it is consumer hegemony and voluntarism that keeps markets free. Your statement reminds me of Bertrand Russell's logical paradox - "Everything I say is untrue" etc.. " This is one axiom I cannot share with you. Markets evolve dynamically unless artificial restraints are placed on them by a coercive sovereign. Daniel
