: If free markets and capitalism are the natural expression of the human condition, why must so much psychological, emotional, physical, political and economic force be expended to preserve it?
In what form and for whom? In its current 'mixed' form and for the benefit of the mediocrities who lead the status quo? Well I can see why it would be necessary then.
