Forced vs. Voluntary Markets
Forced markets require guardrails. Voluntary markets require freedom.
The Problem
We treat forced markets as if they were voluntary. Housing, healthcare, and core utilities are not optional. When participation is mandatory, prices drift toward maximum tolerable pressure, not fair value.
The Solution
Separate forced markets from voluntary ones. Where exit is real, markets should be free, competitive, and open. Where exit is impossible, structural guardrails prevent coercive extraction.
Key Policies
- Classify housing, healthcare, and core utilities as forced markets
- Apply structural guardrails only where exit is genuinely impossible
- Keep voluntary markets open, competitive, and free from unnecessary intervention
- Establish clear criteria for forced-market designation
- Review and update classifications as market conditions change
- Publish forced-market assessments for public scrutiny
Expected Outcomes
- Pricing reflects value, not desperation
- Voluntary markets remain free and innovative
- Forced markets stop functioning as extraction engines
- Citizens can plan their lives with predictable costs
