Anyway, I think using the term, "free market" is more enlightening than
"capitalism". The need to raise and employ 'capital' is one part of a free
market, but it could alsobe argued that even in a non-free-market, some form of
capital must be used, somehow.Thus, "free market" and "capitalism" overlap, but
are not the same thing. Jim Bell

Ursula Le Guin recently called on Fantasy Fiction/SciFi writers to do
