A free-market economy with perfect allocative efficiency does not exist in reality. Why?
◦ The assumption of utility maximization is not a realistic assumption about the behaviour of consumers.
◦ Government intervention in the economy prevents the economic forces that would eventually bring the market to an allocatively efficient outcome.
◦ The decentralization of economic power in a free-market economy does not allow for allocative efficiency.
◦ Firms in many industries have some degree of market power and face negatively sloped demand curves, and produce a level of output where P > MC.
◦ The assumption of profit-maximization is not a realistic assumption about the behaviour of firms.
