The free market works?

Failures in the free market were not responsible for the great depression in the US. It was due to an influx of people taking out loans to immediately put that money into the stock market that caused the crash. The free market would've corrected itself. Agree/disagree/discuss.

Yeah, and thats the beauty of the free market. You are free to want anything, as long as it is what everybody else wants. Really individualistic. I feel similarities with US foreign policy concerning democracy (eg Hamas, Chavez).
