We don’t have a free market. How can any rational individual blame our problems on the free market that doesn’t exist? The free market was rejected in 1913 with the passage of the Federal Reserve Act. How about we get rid of the institution creating all this inflation and volatile boom bust business cycle? The Federal Reserve is the culprit, not the nonexistant free market.
