The Ultimate Free Market Resource Guide

The free market is what made the United States a capitalist nation. The ability of free markets allows people to own and run their own businesses, set the price of retail items, and produce. The economy in the United States is based on the dollar, which is the currency in use presently. The Federal Reserve controls interest rates but the free-market way of thinking proposes that this idea go by the wayside and instead let the markets decide. Ayn Rand, a famous author, wrote several books on the virtues of capitalism, and why socialism and communism are destructive.
