FREE MARKET, n.p. An abstraction said by some to be greatest force for good in the History of the Universe sharing many aspects with God Almighty, including omniscience, omnipotence, perfect efficiency, and boundless benevolence. When unregulated financial markets crash the economy, we need only wait for THE INVISIBLE HAND to set things aright eventually. It is of no concern that “eventually” can be a long time, or that such small measures as World War II can be required to bring about a robust economic recovery. It is believed by LIBERTARIANS and TEA PARTY MEMBERS that after THE INVISIBLE HAND picks your pockets leaving you penniless and bereft of retirement savings, it will eventually leave sacks of gold coins on your doorstep instead of foreclosing your house.
