Ayn Rand is very clear in her definitions using "the Ayn Rand lexicon" is a bit of a stretch. My point being, that "free markets" are an expression of capitalism - but then the question arise are there any "free markets" in this world and where? Is the decision to buy an asset a rational decision or a decision strongly influenced by emotions of the buyer an event that repeat itself in anyone’s life. Does this act of making an unreasonable decision the person a person that act without reason? There are a lot of shades in a human being, even if he is admitted by his peers of being a very reasonable person with decisions based on reason. In practice humans are NOT reasonable thinkers; they act mostly on emotion and biases and even the supposedly "cold reason" is still influence by bias upbringing and emotion depending on one’s upbringing. Best example “would I like to eat shrimps” the cold reasoning is why not – the fact is that I will not out of bias and for the simple reason that I bought fore many years shrimps for fishing which where low quality and stinky if left unsalted. Is this unreasonable decision make me not a rational man, that makes his life decisions not on reasoning?
