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.
