The justification for Mr. Friedman's so-called "free-market" ideology is non-existent. This ideology has resulted in economic, financial, and human tragedy on a monumental scale; Chile and Gen. Pinochet being a well known example of applied neo-liberalism of the 1970's.

The so-called free markets are free for corporate capitalists and their cronies, the bankers. Together they create very little and extract capital and resources from nations and ordinary people.
