    The problem with a complrtely free market is the same problem we have with any other absolute freedom, the sin nature of man.

    A totally free market would be Babylonian in my opinion and is what we will see at the end of the world, which cannot be far off since we are in the last days and since the world seems headed for a nuclear war.

    Who is making these arguments against free markets?

    This looks like a post in search of a problem.

    Mitchell must have discovered that anti-Hillary memes are pretty much useless now.

    What is the alternative to free markets? Certainly not government intervention. Take the case of lasik eye surgery. The government and the insurance companies have stayed out of it and what has happened? The price has come way down from what the procedure originally cost. The same goes for music, movies, or just about everything else. The government can be the referee in setting the basic rules of commerce, but then they should just get out of the way and let the free market rule.
