I simply think free market theorists underestimate the role the "Free Market" plays in government intervention. The free market is far superior than any other institution when it comes to wealth generation. You won't get an argument from me in that regard. But, how do you keep it free? The best and brightest are equally adept at creating solutions as they are at creating loopholes.

Constitutional republicanism and an informed electorate.  

You're right.  Most often it's special business interests down @ the state House looking for special protections or subsidies @ the expense of the consumer/taxpayer.  That kind of economic fascism should be pointed out and exposed.  

Moreover, alinsky was extremely clear that he was 100% comfortable using the perverse incentives of big business interests to finance his quest for social revolution.
