# Introduction to Market Intervention Summary::Intervention causes markets to be not free. # Links # Synopsis The primary source of intervention comes from government. That will be the primary focus of this project. Discussions about the effect of intervention in the effective and efficient operation of markets. The article describes the definition of "free" markets for the purpose of the Journal and the Center. I will shift this to "Content" for now. **I don't believe that I publshed this.** # Body Subject/Title # Intervention I have defined free markets, the primary subject of this blog, as markets free of intervention. Thus, I plan to post permanent articles about the role of intervention in disrupting otherwise free markets. Since most intervention comes through government force, I find it impossible to avoid the topic of government intervention. As I may have stated elsewhere on this blog site, I plan to keep my political comments to a minimum. I want to focus primarily on the economic influence of intervention of all sorts — primarily government intervention. In the briefest of summaries, I can say that intervention disrupts the effective and efficient operation of markets. Intervention creates the only distinction between free markets and non-free markets. I will elaborate on the subject further in articles posted on this page, and I have written extensively about market intervention on The Free Market Center. ## Introduction ## 1. Regulation ## 2.
