>>>> Also, firms' entry and exit to/from the markets is basically unrestricted

You must be kidding me. Try entering banking or insurance market, you'd quickly learn how "unrestricted" they are. Or, even simpler, try entering a job market without joining a union that controls that particular market in a particular place.

>>>> Doesn't have to be unregulated to be "real" capitalism.

The world "real" apparently has a very wide meaning for you. I guess everything that allows people to make transactions without asking written permission of the district market supervisor from the government in advance is "raw capitalism" for you. No amount of restrictive regulation, no amount of government involvement, no amount of market distortion will ever make it not raw.



The amount of regulation doesn't actually matter if the basic conditions for the capitalist mode of production are satisfied.

The market interprets regulation as damage and routes around it.


Where for "market" presumably we read "criminals breaking the law", ultimately to disastrous effect.
