Free market

A free market is a market system in which the prices for goods and services are set freely by consent between sellers and consumers, through the forces of supply and demand without intervention by a government, price-setting monopoly, or other authority.

A Free-market economy is a market-based economy in which the forces of supply and demand are free from any intervention by a government, price-setting monopoly, or other authority, and it typically entails support for highly competitive markets and private ownership of productive enterprises. Although free markets are commonly associated with capitalism in contemporary usage and popular culture, free markets have been advocated by market anarchists, market socialists, proponents of cooperatives, and advocates of profit sharing. ...

Ibrahim Babangida
The challenge as we saw in the Nigerian project was to restructure the economy decisively in the direction of a modern free market as an appropriate environment for cultivation of freedom and democracy and the natural emergence of a new social order.
5
Michele Bachmann
A normal way that the American free market system has worked is that we have a process of unwinding. It's called bankruptcy. It doesn't mean, necessarily, that the industry is eclipsed or that it's gone. Often times, the phoenix rises out of the ashes.
6
Ron Bloom
Generally speaking, we get the joke. We know that the free market is nonsense. We know that the whole point is to game the system, to beat the market or at least find someone who will pay you a lot of money, 'cause they're convinced that there is a free lunch.
7
Omar Bongo
The free market economy is supposed to be the only path leading to the happiness of humanity by promoting wealth and prosperity, power and influence of nations.
8
Dave Brat
Fannie and Freddie made two-thirds of all subprime mortgages. That is not a free market institution. That entity, along with the Fed printing too much money back in '03 and '04, caused the housing collapse. So we need to take free markets seriously. That means we have to put an end to all these tax credits and tax deductions and loopholes.
9
Tammy Bruce
The United States has grown into a remarkable nation specifically because of our independent spirit and free market.
10
Jim Bunning
We no longer have a free market in the United States, we have a government controlled free market.
