MARKET PLACE MUSINGS
An ideal public market place is open, robust, exacting, and true.
A less than ideal market place is one that is regulated, in various respects, from the ideal market place by law or by custom. This factual distinction is true of any market place, be it of ideas, goods, real estate, finance, or services.
"Open" means whosoever will let him or her come and bargain.
"Robust" means market sales are competitive, rough and tumble.
"Exacting" means a deal is a deal.
"True" means that whatever is sold is what it is in form and substance.
As the sale, exchange, barter of land, goods or services is basic to human socialization, whose origins are ancient, its stature is hallowed.
So vital is access to the market place, that impediments do cause conflicts, as these encumbrances compromise another's freedom to trade with other people; thus are unfair, obstructive, confiscatory .
