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

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.
