free-marketeers
Deregulation's vocal supporters
Free-marketeers are advocates of free-market economics—the belief that markets function best with minimal government intervention.
The term often carries a political charge, used by critics to suggest ideological rigidity: The free-marketeers in Congress blocked the regulation.
Supporters may embrace it: As free-marketeers, we trust competition over central planning.
