Then its not price fixing, thats the market price. If I produce 3 fidgets a week and they all sell by monday morning, Id raise the price.

Ok, I have an idea, lets stop printing new money directly into the housing market through the federal reserve. Without it, there is no guarentee that a house will appreciate, in fact most homes would be considered depreciating assets. The cost of homes would plung 80, maybe 90%, and housing would be radically more affordable. Id be totally hosed, but I would find that a reasonable compromise.

Oh, my bad, I assumed you were trying to be belligerent on basic economics not containing this information. Id actually be happy to adopt just about any world religions economic regulation, as opposed to what we have today.

You know, maybe some people arent cut out for economics, but, the spirit of rothbard compels me, economic education is for the masses so I will provide a quote from chapter 2, prices and cost subsection.

"While you may put whatever prices you wish on the goods and services you provide, those prices will become economic realities only if others are willing to pay them, and that depends not on whatever prices you have chosen, but on how much consumers want what you offer, and on what other producers charge for the same goods and services."

So, maybe the 6th edition could be better equipped for ctrl+f economists, with all the communist propaganda words indexed to subsections.

Start with an insult, that will signal to others that you are intellectually superior without having to ever demonstrate an iota of actual economic reasoning.

If you want to know where bubbles came from, you should have just asked, its called monetary policy and is set by the federal reserve; sure, there was the great tulip mania of - no one gives a fuck it was a short lived commodity bubble that would look miniscule accounting for any amount of inflation you are willing to admit; today, the "bubble" is called debt, the purchasing power of your dollar must decrease, because the very existence of dollars necessarily implies there is a corresponding debt with interest, it turns out to that a pretty significant amount of the money being printed is being injected intravenously into the housing sector unlike the median wage, and you guys are always mystified that housing costs so much money, incentives matter.

If you want to regard this in a moral context, name your world religion and I will agree this second to obey their economic practices. There are many immoral philosphical ideas regarding economics that many regard as moral; religion is no exception, but I find that conceptually grounded in principles that have worked for thousands of years to keep people ethically bound despite ethnic differences and geographical seperation. There is far less to fear from islamic lending practices than whatever people "feel is right" in the heat of the moment.
