The more freer an economy the closer it is to capitalism

Such as less regulations, less barriers for financial investment

lower taxes

more private property rights

etc

I think regulations are important. greed is the root of all evil

Regulations are unnecessary and useless 95% of the time

they just reduce consumer choice

increase prices

reduce economic growth

And hurt businesses

Tell me what regulations are useless

Obviously I can't name specific ones

wait I can

net neutrality

zoning laws

the huge amount of regulations in the healthcare market

net neutrality is useless

Incredible.

Yes

it's the regulation that harms businesses and creates monopolies

Oh yeah to add, regulation creates monopolies

The state intervention in the economy creates artificial high barriers to entry

Regulations do the exact opposite

Which creates the monopolies

Tell that to the healthcare market, ISPs

since the only reason the monopolies exists are due to regulations

for example ISP has zoning laws

Damn, I want to sit down and talk but I gotta do human things

I'll get back in a sec

But a 100% free market causes monopolies

That's what I thought

Competition is best when there are few monopolies or oligopolies. Regulatory barriers to entry into some fields are too high in my opinion, which should be fixed, but conversely regulations / tax collections on the big businesses in those fields is often lacking , which only exacerbates the problem

Look at happened in the late 1800s to the early 1900s

There was a complete monopoly

Gilded age

There were several monopolistic organizations in major industries

@Anon365 never

A free market never causes a monopolies that’s a myth

A natural monopoly DOES NOT EXIST

@Leo (BillNyeLand) all due to state intervention
