Consequentialst Markets vs Deontological Markets

  What is more important, that markets function in the manner that is most profitable for the most people or that they function within the limitations of moral and ethical philosophy?

  I for one would certainly be a lot more likely to believe a moral argument for limiting the free market then a consequential one. My understanding of free market economics is that the freer the market the better the results are for everybody. Just about the only place I think I could put limits would be when it comes to fraud or coercion, this is where the moral element comes in. I don't know for sure where exactly those limits should be and I don't know if anybody does know where they should be.

I'm writing stuff

  Yay, I'm finally writing something. I love writing, but its one of the most difficult things to do, and even harder to do well. Amazingly enough I hardly ever do it. See, in order to write with a bare minimum of coherency you have to have your thoughts in order. For me, at least, its next to impossible. I have a billion thoughts a second and its hard to get them in order. Hopefully writing this blog will help with that. A lot of things I do have the opposite effect. Like the internet use for one thing.
