“Flying the unfriendly skies”

“The invisible hand of the market gets tied behind its back when there is no semblance of actual competition. I just had to shop for airline tickets this week and could find virtually no difference in price for the times and dates I needed to travel. …This has been my experience over and over again.

Customers ultimately determine pricing, voting with their wallets every day on what they value and are willing to pay for. That is the marketplace at work.”

Comment

It sure is in the ONLY way that markets CAN work by using VISIBLE prices from which customers can decide to pay or not pay.  

It has nothing to do with INVISIBLE HANDS “tied [by whom?] behind their back!
