Gee!! I've been a student of free markets (Chicago, Austrian, Hoover under
Sowell, Georgetown under Williams) for 25 years and I don't recall any of
them making anything even remotely similar to that claim. If anything, it
claims the opposite and refers to it as "chaotic" and a great struggle to
stay competitive.

Perhaps you can refer us to someone making such a claim (besides, say, your
uncle, or a statist who used it disparagingly). Knowing full well that many
have claimed that libertarianism/classical free-market types are
actually..._fascist_. (yes, from such disparate luminaries as Bill O'Reilly
and Amitai Etzioni and Noam Chomsky.

So perhaps you can enlighten us..

Thanks,

Matt
