Example of Free Market and Competition

Here Mish Shedlock, just a money manager, gets named the top financial blogger by Time magazine. When government does not have control over the media, talent rises to the top. The other two top financial bloggers (read in the link) were his inspiration, and actually advised him as he started up. A double winner of free market and competition. Note also if you've heard or read Mish you did so, most likely, becuase of my reference. How come it took Time over a year to spot what I did? Now you see one reason government controlled media is dying out.

As an aside, I always modeled my web presence on Lewrockwell.com, but initially could get no help from them, not even any answers. A year ago or so they finally loosened up with some ideas. Today I read the fellow in charge of the free-market blog and website used to want to stop any copiers. Go figure, the "home" of free markets is trying to suppress freedom. He has since repented, and now welcomes competition, as he explains here.

This desire to dominate, to own and control, is something we must learn to reject in ouorlseves, like like a desire to lie and steal.
