I believe that a properly regulated market provides a superior benefit to society than a free unregulated market. CMV

I believe that free capitalist markets are a natural phenomenon that is more or less inevitable in any human society (or collection of societies). I also believe it to be a generally positive thing that should be cultivated and encouraged because of its massive potential to improve the quality of life for all participants. However, just like any other natural phenomenon or animal of nature, we as humanity cannot maximize its benefits without "harnessing" it. In the context of our current modern world, I view this “harnessing” process manifesting itself as regulation by an impartial party (typically a government).

The nutshell of my view: I believe that a society cannot reap the maximum benefits from a capitalistic marketplace without impartial governmental regulation. Just as bridling a horse transforms a grazing animal into an efficient form of transportation, managing the growth and behavior of “the marketplace” allows a society to draw the most benefit.

**Update:** I think there may be some misunderstanding of the view I hold. My position is that capitalist markets, left to their own devices, can exist just fine. However, I believe that intervention is generally required in order to shape that market into something that benefits society. It may even be that a completely unregulated market provides some kind of benefit already. I only contend that said benefit can only reach its maximum potential when steered to do so.

Let me know the day impartial government regulation becomes possible. The way it works in every actual government now existing is a hodgepodge of conflicting interests builds a largely nonsensical regulatory environment that costs gobs of money and is largely unhelpful to anyone. And to the extent it helps anyone, it is usually catastrophically cost-ineffective.
