No confusion....
Mark, free market capitalism is a political/economic philosophy.
In the United States, under our Constitution, a persons rights are protected because the government is restrained. The restraint placed upon it is the law of the land, period. Within that framework we discuss free markets and capitalism, because without the restraint on government we have tyranny, period.
It is not confusing if you look at your personal freedoms the same way you do your economic freedom. Sure, you have free speech but still cant yell fire in the movie house....yet we call that free speech because it is without restraint UNTIL you us it as force to violate another.
Free markets under our rule of law........
Priorities -
1) Your God, or whatever you hold higher than yourself...morals
2) Your Constitution - a restrained government
3) Freedom
