  • Clarkewi makes a most important point that wall street is totally disconnected from main street. There has been no recovery in the real economy. Further decline in the economy is being artificially stopped by the Federal Gov't but it can't keep this up forever. There are no real jobs being created compared to the millions lost. How can a retail stock increase on Wall Street when there are no shoppers on Main Street is beyond my comprehension. A total disconnect.

  • @Ilikemustard Theoretical bullshit. Corps do buy politicians - but there are plenty of other ways to destroy competition. Try setting up a local shop next to tesco metro and see how much effect tescos debt has on how much money you make. You arguments are out of the US book of crap arguments to justify the 'free market'. They don't stand up any more.

  • @nowthatsinteresting1

    Part 2)

    No, you're completely wrong. The larger a corporation gets, the EASIER it is to compete with them. As a corporation buys out the market, it becomes more expensive to do so as there are less competing firms to buy out. Basic economic law, low supply, high cost. So the more firms that are bought out, the more expensive it becomes to buy out the market.

    So to do this, big corporations need to take on lots of debt, making them easier to compete with.

    Simple myth.

  • @nowthatsinteresting1

    Part 1)

    Yeah, they act to destroy as much competition as possible, and the most efficient way of doing that is lobbying politicians. This is just common sense and there is evidence everywhere you look (e.g airlines in France).

  • @Ilikemustard Oh dear. Every corporation must act to destroy as much competition as possible. The bigger they get the harder they are to compete with. This is just common sense and there is evidence everywhere you look (eg supermarkets in UK). You quote an example of a government protecting a home-grown (and in that case taxpayer-funded) business. Agreed governments DO do this type of protectionism - but this doesn't prove monopolies can ONLY be created by governments. That's logic.

  • @nowthatsinteresting1

    So you give me an example of a corporation trying to avoid TAXES and you think this demonstrates a flaw in the free market? Wow.

    NO, monopolies are formed WHEN government intervenes, because when government intervenes it is almost exclusively to help the big corporations because they are the ones that can pay off politicians.

    An example: Google "easyJet Air France monopoly". easyJet wanted to compete with Air France, but the government blatantly said no.

  • @Ilikemustard Not sure how some of these corporations are going to get any meaningful competition any time soon - with or without help from government cronies. Take amazon - they avoid sales tax in the Uk (20%) by shipping all their stuff thru Jersey. I can't compete with that. Our government would have to take action against them to stop them - that isn't a free market. I say that the free market creates monopolies. You will disagree with me. I see no evidence that you are right.

  • This is learning, history to repeat itself.

    Don't confuse a true free market with the crony capitalism that currently dominates the world.

    No founding father IMO
