Free Market Fiction

By any other name, capitalism still smells the same and the smell is greed. Call it "the free market." Call it laissez-faire. Call it what you will, it's all swill. The "invisible hand" Adam Smith believed would keep capitalism in check turns out to be a grasping fist. Anyone who tells you America's so-called economic "system" is intrinsic to our "freedom" is lying, or delusional. Capitalism is not your friend.
