Generally economists’ and economic pundits’ idea of free markets more resembles a fetishized form of the concept that enables the rights of bad and dominant actors more than it is a functional reality. But then what should we expect within the present monetary paradigm of Debt Only and a zeitgeist of power and profit?
Free flowingness, within enabled and enforced actual competition, that reasonably rewards innovation, has rational and sane industrial/ecological policy and that is guided by and expresses a paradigm concept of the highest ethic possible, should be the concept and the goal. That monetary paradigm is grace/graciousness/gracefulness, and logically it perfectly aligns with the next zeitgeist we can progress toward because grace as in soverign and yet redeemed power IS the next zeitgeist.
