We certainly do not have it in the global economy and the free trade world. What is called the Free Market is a economic stew of many different "isms" in a wild settings where anything goes. I say this having grown in a family business and having several business ventures of my own. I really never found the Free Market. <br />I have been online since 1998, as an advocate for workers dignity, fair trade, the real free enterprise system and local value added economies. <br />The so called Free Market we have now is based primarily on making money on money instead of making things. This economy is burning out and I do not know what will replace it. Fair trade laws have been on the books for years but I never saw it defended in a court of law. The small business man, has no way to seek a judgement for fair trade.
