...and works sometimes, but not always. You know what they say about democracy - democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. The market doesn't always make the right decisions; it tolerated slavery and lack of equal or civil rights until the govt. stepped in. It tolerates child labor and sweat shops by turning a blind eye, and didn't even used to do that until, once again the govt. stepped in and made it illegal here. Now they just ship it to third world countries and our free-market is implicit in supporting it.
