[quote=Anonymous]There is a unicorn out there. The market is the unicorn. As a matter of shorthand it makes sense to talk about the 'market' as an objective, unbiased, benevolent structure but that is not actually what it is. What some of you keep calling the market is actually a national economic system of capitalism.  In a capitalist system individuals are free to make their own decisions and do so in self-interest. People who have the most capital have the most influence on how the system functions. That is why blacks, and gay people, and children, and anyone else who is not made in the image of the majority have been protected by government regulation - because the self-interest of the economic majority is often arbitrary and exclusive.

When you make a decision about how much something is worth and then initiate a transaction based on that assessment you are the market. The only market that really exists is the individual. If we are in a place where care providers are being exploited then it is because the self-interest of the economically privileged works against their favor.

MBs can not hide behind a big monster called the market. It is not real. You want us to believe that it is, but it is only a fiction of your semantics.[/quote]
