Posted on March 1, 2010, 12:00am | Dan Hayes

Are profits in a free market a sign of greedy businessmen stealing from their customers and hoarding wealth at the expense of ordinary people?

Or... Are they, along with losses and the relative high or low prices commanded by different goods & services, actually a crucial part of a functioning and growing economy?

Find out about that and about how special favors from government can destroy the information provided by profits & losses in this video written & produced by Sean W. Malone with CitizenA Multimedia productions.
