===Free-market anticapitalism=== Ridley wrote a 2017 column making the case for free-market anticapitalism. He makes the case that it is misleading to refer to 'capitalism' and 'markets' as the same thing because "commerce, enterprise and markets are β to me β the very opposite of corporatism and even of 'capitalism', if by that word you mean capital-intensive organisations with monopolistic ambitions. Markets and innovation are the creative-destructive forces that undermine, challenge and reshape corporations and public bureaucracies on behalf of consumers. So big business is just as much the enemy as big government, and big business in hock to big government is sometimes the worst of all."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://capx.co/the-case-for-free-market-anticapitalism/|title=The case for free-market anticapitalism|date=12 July 2017|access-date=23 November 2020|work=CapX}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://reason.com/2017/07/13/matt-ridley-the-case-for-free-market-ant/|title=Matt Ridley's 'Case for Free-Market Anticapitalism'|date=13 July 2017|access-date=24 November 2020|work=Reason Magazine}}</ref>
