Resumen
This article is an ethical reflection on free market capitalism. It is maintained that the buyer-seller dynamics is based on and also generates
selfish individuals who tend to forget the moral dimension of their actions in the market. The price system plays an important role in this respect
since it eliminates qualitative differences among goods. The alleged moral justification of capitalism by appealing to liberty is also called into
question.
