Free market theory 3 simple questions?

[SDD]

1) Business and economists do NOT forget that most resources are scarce. That is the whole subject of economists. If you want to buy something that will last a long time, there is a market for that. Want a piano that will last more than a lifetime? Steinway will sell you one. If you want a toothbrush that will last a lifetime, you could have one made for you at very high cost. Not many people think that's a good decision, though
2) There is a definite role for government. It is to protect private property and maintain predictable rules of law.
4) If you don't see any sense in imported fruit, avoid that fruit. If everyone felt as you, there would be no imported fruit. Millions of people disagree with you and they have satisfy their needs by importation.
