Markets

The second key element of open trade is the establishment of free and open markets in which any enterprising person may trade so long as they observe simple laws preventing usurious modalities entering. No rent should be charged traders nor levies taken from their trade.

The modern market space has been entirely monopolised, first by retailers and then by monopolistic corporations and multi-national chains, behind them their usury-driven bankers. The small business has no choice but to make agreements on highly disadvantageous conditions with these rapacious concerns. This is one of the reasons that the business world is so rife with failures in start-ups and even in longer-established concerns.
