Milton Friedman on Competition - Dictionary of Arguments

Brocker I 405
Competition/FriedmanVsNeoclassics/Friedman: while neoclassical theory was based on perfect competition, which could ultimately only be guaranteed by permanent state intervention, Friedman favours the more evolutionary understanding of competition developed by Hayek as a method of discovery, which ultimately also provides for competition between institutions(1). From the point of view of a classic liberal like Friedman, the decisive criterion for effective competition is free market access alone.
Cf.>Neoclassical economics
.
Market imperfections: open up additional profit opportunities. According to Schumpeter this makes the development of innovation in the economy a worthwhile business, and the market is dynamically efficient if new prod ucers keep competing away the temporary monopoly profits.
>Innovation, >J.A. Schumpeter.
