Chris Hedges articulates the lack of "Freedom" in free markets referenced in this article by Brodsky and thus, Stoll. Markets will begin to be free when the culpable at the top of the TBTF Banks are truly accountable for their mis deeds.

A kindergarten child could pass proper judgement on these men and women, but a bought and paid for Congress has a difficult time with this. a true revolution may be in the making as the fractional reserve banking system reaches its limits. Too much debt in the world and not enough money. Look at Europe, they wish to "solve" their problems by issuing more debt. The Greek people get shafted so that the TBTF Banks can sustain their fractional reserve practices. We are seeing history in the making. The next few election cycles will see the voters of the US and other nations either succumb to bullying and enticements to allow the status quo to stay in power and be caudled by the corporate Kleptocracy, or the voters will demonstrate a strong asserted will and elect those who will not be controlled by the corporate thugs who run multi-national corporations. We will see. It will most likely be ugly like the 60's.
