A market is free or it is not free. This means that it is unconstrained and access is
unrestricted - i.e.it is dynamic . This is obviously not the case and has not been the case
in my lifetime or yours. The supposed "free market" therefore does not exist. It's an
empty phrase rolled out at (in)appropriate moments for a gullible audience.

No. The above economies are regulated and manipulated to the point where the idea of
a dynamic and unrestrained economy/market is a joke.
