- Then you (or was it someone else) have referred to Japan as a free
- market. I allways hear people using Japan as an example of what a free market
- can do. These examples are flawed. The U.S.A is a much more free market than
- Japan and although its economy is strong hasn't being doing very well.
-
- Japan is a country with massive trade restrictions, not to mention
- government telling companies what to do in a very active way.
-
- Does this sound like a free market to you?
