Question

In a free market society, businesses ask the government to make laws and policies regulating the economy. T/F

Answer 1

No, this is false, or at least it should be false.

In a free market society, the economic activities should be regulated by the demand and supply relationship: the demand for certain goods and services and their supply.
However, in practice the businesses do ask the government for laws favorable for them: they do this in the form of lobbying.
