“This points to a nagging and important question about free-market ideologues: Are they ‘true believers’, driven by ideology and faith that free markets will cure underdevelopment, as is often asserted, or do the ideas and theories frequently serve as an elaborate rationale to allow people to act on unfettered greed while still invoking an altruistic motive?”

“Free markets and capitalism are predicated upon the definition of greed as altruistic in economics".~R. Alan Woods [2012]”

“In a society governed passively by free markets and free elections, organized greed always defeats disorganized democracy.”

“We all too often have socialism for the rich and rugged free market capitalism for the poor.”

“Capitalism is not a synonym for free markets.”

“I am not a capitalist in the simplistic left/right sense. But I do believe in the power of the global free-market economy and in using capitalist tools. I believe in the power of teh free market and the power of capital in the marketplace. I also believe that providing unemployment benefits is not the best way to address poverty. The able-bodied poor don't wan tor need charity. The dole only increases their misery, robs them of incentive and, more important, of self-respect.”
