There is no attempt made at all to teach what the free market means, how it works, and what it achieves.

People have become products of this educational system and, being ignorant of even the most basic realities of how economies work, or don't work, in the real world, they end up like this. It is not their fault, and it's certainly not a question of intelligence.

It's a terrible shame, and unfortunately, by the time most people wake up to the reality of what economic control really means, it is too late, and the only people with any power are the political elite.
