What’s confusing about the “tyranny of markets”? If one’s life is oriented toward maximizing income, irrespective of morality, that is idolatry, just as St. Paul said.

A free market decreases tyranny. That was Reagan's position which the Pope seems to have been bashing.

The further you get from a free market the more tyranny you have.

You are lumping all markets together as immoral then? The Pope made no such distinctions and I think you try too hard to defend a socialist.

Markets are the most democratic of institutions. Two people meet to exchange their own property for their mutual advantage. Markets are what exist when people are free.

There will always be dishonest people. Are we then to condemn free exchange as tyrannical because of the few? Your comment is incoherent.

If one's life is oriented to maximizing profit, yes. But it's proper for a business to be oriented thusly.
