I agree, it's not a free market at all, and there were regulatory bodies in place but they all failed. Bad policies also added fuel to the inevitable fire.

However, I think that true free markets are only possible in theory when dealing with complex societies. If it could exist, it would have drawbacks too. But less/limited government is a realistic goal. The battle between total individual freedom and government control is probably an eternal one.
