    I would argue that being horriblely disadvantaged by not getting free money is not in fact a restriction on the market.

      That’s technically correct. It’s not a restriction. But it’s not a neutral for the market either.

        Of course it’s not neutral, but we’re talking about wether or not it is comparable with unrestricted capitalism.
