The regulation that ensures you don’t have to change your phone number when you change the provider made it easier for businesses to compete with lower prices. Markets became less "free" but more "open".
Left should move the debate from free vs regulated to free vs open markets.
Nothing reveals the hypocrisy of big businesses like when they beg for government protection from the free market forces they always cite to justify their greed.
We shouldn't be afraid of markets. They've existed long before capitalism and will long after. But we should be willing to tune them so they benefit workers and consumers not the wealthy.
