    No kidding. Even regular staunch capitalists recognize that regulation is sometimes necessary. Regulation against anti-competitive practices exists because a market left to its own devices will devolve into monopolies that will be much less efficient than a competitive market. Non-competes are just employers establishing monopolies over their workforce.

      I would posit it devolves into either slavery or serfdom based on historical records. We all started “in free market” lol

      Most people can’t the differentiate between capitalism and free market on conceptual level
