What are you smoking because it has to be some real strong stuff. What is the better replacement the free market has come up with so far?

The free market is what got us into this crisis and will never get us out. It's about having a balance between free and controlled. Not one of them, both of them.

Free market = People running companies to fill their pockets now. And the pockets of a few. Look around at all the companies like Enron, companies who paid CEOs big bonuses when the company was clearly losing money or banks who paid big bonuses to top management with the bail out money.

Controlled market = Something like socialism where those who do the work and bring in the business don't get the reward.

We need a balance between the two.
