Comments on: What free markets are all about http://www.newschoolpolitics.com/objectivist-content/what-free-markets-are-all-about/ School's out. The New School is in session.

The wisdom of the crowds is always better than that of an individual making choices for the whole community. Wikipedia and user generated media is an excellent example of this. While individual articles may have problems, the average article has far fewer errors than the average article in most print encyclopedias... which have a slow editing process and frequently suffer from outdated facts. Interesting example of schools as a small free market... if only it were true. Schools are some of the most government controlled/i'm smarter than you/do what I say places in the entire community. It would be interesting to see a free market school: zero teacher intervention in classes, selling, everything. (Feel free to skip class... but just know that you might miss something important. Not our problem - just yours) I wholly support the free market with zero government restrictions.
