The case against Free-Market values

I should hope that a business would open its doors originally for the love of making money. I think there's nothing more pure and right than that motive. If you open the doors of a bookshop for the love of books, then why not give them away? Because money is what makes the world go 'round. It's what causes evolution and civilization. You don't go into business for the love of anything except for business and money and to state that intent as incorrect or immoral is the same as saying "money is the root of all evil" without asking what is at the root of all money.

Now, to attack a society in which a brilliant author is not given the recognition he/she deserves is an accurate argument and rant, and I could rally behind that. I know the same anguish in the music industry where people like Paris Hilton can afford to pay for recognition and a record label and sell many albums on her fortune alone. Money used for the wrong purpose *is* evil. Those are not the byproducts of a free-market. Those are the by-products of a need-system collapsed inside of itself. Pure Socialism at its worst. It is corruption that has a fetid value system at its root, and is not the result of free-market.

The point of free-market is to keep government interference out, so your politician rant makes no sense when the government has no business meddling in free-market affairs anyway. That is not "the problem with free market" that is "a problem with America".

I suggest you read "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand to better see what I mean.
