13. The Free Market isn't broke at all -
In fact, it's doing exactly what unregulated capitalism seeks to do, which is to enslave the weak and enrich the greedy. Without moral controls (by the charitable institutions) and legal controls (by the government), the market will continue to develop controlled thought radio. Commerical brainwashing is just as powerful as totalitarian propaganda, because it's brain candy. The so-called "marketplace of ideas" is mostly a Libertarian talking point.
