This written sample is extracted from an independently researched field review submission on the proliferation of regulatory capitalism answering: “Some parts of the private sector effectively regulate other parts of the private sector—how do they do this, and what are its consequences?” Although some material which frames the issue and expands certain literature has been removed for brevity, the structure and critical analysis have been retained.

This essay provides an argument to the question of: “What ethical principles should be appealed to when determining regulations restricting free markets?”. Consequently, I link the economics literature on the gains from trade and other forms of liberalization to the philosophical works of writers like Sandel and Satz, with special emphasis on attempts to achieve outcomes that are more egalitarian than those that would result from laisser-faire.
