Good post. One thing you may be misinterpreting is when I say "Free Markets", I mean free from manipulation by central bankers and free from manipulation by governments. I don't mean completely free of regulations. Regulations are very important for capitalism. Laissez fair capitalism, which is what you seem to equate with free markets, doesn't work very well. On that, I think we can both agree. What I don't like is manipulation of key things like interest rates, which distort the economy so badly.
