If the free market were capable of solving our problems we wouldn't be in the sad shape we are in right now. The free market is too inefficient as readily seen by the violent fluctuations in commodity prices, housing prices, stock prices, labor costs, and so on. The free market has destroyed our industrial base in favor of false productivity in the form of a bloated "financial services industry," in the form of a bogus notion that we can have an economy based on "information technology." We need industries that actually produced stuff, instead of mirages. There is a reason this country has recently lost 30 trillion in national wealth.

Whoa! You really put your foot in it there, my friend
.
The sad shape we are in now was not caused by the free market, but by government intervention in the free market. It is this sensless and arbitrary regulation of the free market that causes economic problems, not the free market itself. And now, of course, the same people who got us in this mess pretend to be able to get us out!
