I know a lot about those subjects. Not saying I couldn't learn more. The critiques of markets I've read are written by people who don't understand that markets are inseparable from the people who participate in them.
I understand that completely free and open markets are prone to abuse, which is why we have regulation. The goal of regulation should be to keep markets as free as possible. The fact is, though, that regulation tends to make markets even easier to abuse. They lock out competition, and end up hurting everyone but the people they are meant to limit.
