"Our free market trades on the assumption that good, innovative products will prevail over less effective ones released by entrenched firms like Microsoft."

Wait, what? When did that start happening?

[floydnoel]

Who even makes that assumption. Not economists afaik

[Qwertious]

Neoliberal politicians make that assumption.
