I just asked a question. Do you prefer bureaucrats or the courts to provide the regulations on the market?

No, I prefer elected officials do so and the bureaus like the police or economic regulators to follow said laws. Even courts - a branch of govt here in the USA - not so in other nations - need the bureaucrats to enforce their rulings.

Here is a real world example of what life is like for an entrepreneur in a mixed European style socialist country (Luxembourg):
