Market capitalism generally speaking provides more productivity and a more efficient distribution of resources. This is not a small difference either, production targets/central planning does not work with products that fluxate in demand.
Thinking that you can plan the perfect economy if anything is utopian.
Furthermore there are way too many regulations. Some regulations that do exist are very useful, but generally speaking there are too many, and those that exist are generally geared toward hurting small businesses and benefitting major corporations NOT protecting the consumers. Although I do not have the exact numbers at hand, the majority of jobs created during the last decades or so were created by small businesses whilst the vast majority of regulations passed in the same period of time were geared towards limiting small businesses.
For example, most of the regulations in the meat and dairy industry have no scientific basis for how they would actually make people safer, but instead just hurt small scale production techniques and thus harming small businesses. Another example of retarded regulations are the ridicolous regulations on nuclear energy in spite of being the most effecient, sustainable and having among the lowest emissions of toxins AND RADIOACTIVITY of all power sources.
Furthermore, do you have any idea the ridicolous hops and hoops you have to go through just to start business? Again, bunch of useless regulations put in place by corrupt politicians.
I understand why you are sceptical of the free market, it comes from a desire of order. One that share. But I have actually changhed my mind on this issue because simply put, market capitalism works well and excessive regulation doesn't.
