In current popular American political discourse, the "market" is thrown about as an ideal, but there are serious oversimplifications. While, all too often, the word is simply a talisman and little thought goes into its meaning, my own thought is that a "free market" is ideally a "perfect market", with the counterintuitive idea that it is usually necessary to have some independent oversight to avoid market manipulation, insider information, etc.  The current financial markets deviate from classic assumption on value, and the supply and demand of real goods and services is subordinated to short-term value of (at best) common stock and probably at worst, exotic financial instruments.

In current popular American political discourse, the "market" is thrown about as an ideal, but there are serious oversimplifications. While, all too often, the word is simply a talisman and little thought goes into its meaning, my own thought is that a "free market" is ideally a "perfect market", with the counterintuitive idea that it is usually necessary to have some independent oversight to avoid market manipulation, insider information, etc. The current financial markets deviate from classic assumption on value, and the supply and demand of real goods and services is subordinated to short-term value of (at best) common stock and probably at worst, exotic financial instruments.

Should the tragedy of the commons be here?
