Page "Ferengi" Paragraph 17

* The Ferengi do not appear to appreciate class or have a class system.

Even though their status is determined entirely by wealth, the Ferengi would consider it foolish to establish an " upmarket " clientele when there would be profit to be made in selling goods to less fortunate people.

In fact, the Ferengi belief in the " Great Material Continuum ", an analogue of the unrestricted free market, often drives them to great length to satisfy a potential customer's needs and to find a market for their goods.

It is worth noting that the Ferengi economy is not actually an unrestricted free market, and is subject to the Ferengi Commerce Authority's heavy regulation ( the authority breaks strikes and has the ability to seize all assets of any Ferengi who does not comply with FCA regulation ).
