I think will isn't so much referring to the stock market so much as the common market where services are traded for money, and prices are set according to rules of supply and demand. I think you'd agree, when a supplier can set any price they want without any question from the customer, and the customer pays it as a matter of law, policy, or crony preference, that market is broken.
