How free markets make us fatter, poorer and less happy
Just as free markets can serve the public good “by an invisible hand” (as Adam Smith saw more than two centuries ago and is the foundation of the field of economics), free markets will do something else. As long as there is a profit to be made, they will also deceive us, manipulate us and prey on our weaknesses, tempting us into purchases that are bad for us. That is also a fundamental feature of market equilibrium, in which supply and demand balance each other out.
