Talk:Free market

message: The definition is incredibly vague.
What government actions, law (rule/regulation) making, intervention, enforcement, institution making, functions is a "free market" free from?
Is it free off all government or just some government?
What are the criteria used to separate the government interventions a "free market" is free from from those that it is not free off?
The inclusion of furthur details would greatly improve the article

message: These philosophies aren't notable enough to include in the lead and aren't specifically mentioned by the source given. "Anarchism" is much more a political ideology rather than an economic system, and has played a minor role in modern economic thought. It seems to have been added to the lead to push a particular point of view. Similarly with profit-sharing, which isn't incompatible with capitalism or socialism. Simply mentioning that free markets have been part of some proposals of (market) socialism should be sufficient to cover non-capitalist market systems in a succinct manner. -Battlecry 10:32, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
