Here’s a landlord trying to practice unfettered capitalism: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3096242/posts
For all those who say they do not believe in unfettered capitalism, are you even thinking about what you type?? (Or are you trolling here?) What exactly would "fettered" capitalism be, anyway? Capitalism in chains?!?
Real free market capitalism--"unfettered capitalism"--is about as far from lawlessness as you can get. Free market capitalism depends fundamentally upon the rule of law, laws that protect and respect the essential freedom of the individual, the right to property, the right of contract and other legal instruments, and even on the freedom of individuals in all other important realms of life--freedoms relating to speech, writing, (self-)education, assembly, all of the best stuff that we (nominally at least) inherit as US citizens.
"Unfettered" may be a poor choice of words, because so many of you seem to misunderstand or react emotionally to it. "Unfettered" means unchained. Not lawless, irresponsible, or unaccountable.
And if you really think so-called "capitalism" in China is "unfettered", you have no knowledge or experience of doing business in China.
Amendment 10: Do you really think someone should be prohibited from buying low and selling high?? Why exactly?
vladimir988: Free market capitalism does not mean theft is legal. Protection of property and transfer of property is part of unfettered capitalism. Interference with these rights, or selective protection of them, is not.
