Sažetak
The article discusses the existence of free will in the free market.
The purpose of this article is to show how the free market
restricts free will through the fashion effect and how an illusion
of freedom is created. The article puts forward a hypothesis,
which says that the market, especially the theoretical concept of
the free market, limits free will. However, it gives a sense of freedom, which is a delusion. The authors see and describe an existence of a fashion effect as an example of degeneration of the
free market. Fashion effect is one of the free-market processes –
it uses the psychological mechanisms of seduction; first to sensual, and then intellectual – i.e., the biblical description of the
seduction in Eden. In the degenerating free market, the goods
are not required to possess practical aspects; however, they need
to provoke internal conflicts.
