Land Prices are outrageous...does LL have plans to help.. (In response to response)

In response to the response made here about about Second Life being a "Free Market" in this post /139/ef/157625/1.html.

I ask if you know the meaning of a Planned Economy vs a Free Market Economy?

As this is a better discription of what kind of economy Second Life really is.

The Lindex is not a "Free Market" as Supply Linden acting as a government representative is manipulating the market to some target rate and refuses to let the market reach a equalibrium on it's own. There is no concern that I can see about balancing the sources vs sinks. Before Supply Linden came in to the market the balance was much closer. Now the sources are climbing each month with no end in site while LL reaps the rewards of their new found cash cow.

If LL was really concerrned about the residents and a Free Market than they would not have Supply Linden bump the sellers in the name of stabilizing the market. Before Supply Linden and LindeX it was stable. When Lindex opened there were questionable signs of market manipulation. I believe that this was the 1st signs of market manipulation by Supply Linden when the rate of the linden started falling because of extream dumps on the market.

So, as with the exchange, will LL do some manipulation in this Planned Economy in the form of maybe "Land Linden" to help ease the rapid inflation of land prices like they did with "Supply Linden" on the money market?

Hi Raster,

I've asked Guy and Lawrence to chime in on this thread to address your additional questions.
