We already know Pirsig's view on the question; a free market system
is better than an intellectually directed system because it responds
better to DQ. You'll have to go some to top that, but you're welcome
to try.

No, this is your mis-interpretation of Pirsig's view, which I and
others have disputed numerous times. Besides, this view fails to
address the question of this thread, stated clearly above. And it
fails to address the real-world question of whether or not existing
"free-market" economies are really free to respond to DQ.
I'm looking for evidence, analysis, and argument here. You can rely
on the MOQ for argument, if you like, but evidence means stepping
outside the MOQ and into the real world of imperfect economic
systems.
