The Free Market Recipe: Deride Government. See That It Fails. Collect Tax Payer Bailout
What we have in the United States is crony capitalism with side orders of privatized profit, and socialized risk.

A Brief: The State Of Capitalism In The United States Of America
I want to make one point very clear, there has never been a “free market” in the United States. If lobbyists can descend on Washington to sway congress to shape legislation in favor of their clients (corporations) then there is nothing free about the marketplace of capitalism in this country. A free market would mean no oversight, no favors, and no regulations. I’m not saying that would be desirable, I’m simply pointing out a fact that gets overlooked when people talk about the free market. They are talking about something that doesn’t exist.
