19. Markets in a modern economy NEED government regulation.

Edited on Fri Jul-29-05 02:11 PM by geek tragedy

By that, I mean they wouldn't exist or function without supervision and regulation by the state.

Think about where the big money is: financial markets, real estate, etc. Government regulation in those areas is absolutely vital to their existence. Securities markets are probably the most heavily regulated on the planet.
