Well, if you can suggest something better, then by all means do. You can
mock all you like, but unless you can provide a successful alternative,
then such mockery appears (to me, at least) empty. I, for one, am not a
person who proliferates books by Hazlitt and Hayek or preaches the
superiority of the free market system, but so far I haven't seen an
alternative presented that even rings close to being a practical solution
to free markets. So please, before you continue your mockery, present one.
