depends what you like, really. if you like a coherent social order, you'll relegate "free markets" to places like ayn rand novels, where they are safely removed from realities and wrapped in protective purple prose that only the intrepid brave, and even these generally only in their late teens.
it is in part the ideology that makes this absurd separation between "markets" and "regulation" or law that explains in significant measure why we are sitting around watching the financial catastrophe show. that's been one of the main interpretive claims in the thread.
fell free to join in the party, though---put stuff up that you might find which you think either gives a fragment of a picture that can be used to piece together and image, or something that provides a basis for provisional interpretation.
it's all done on the fly anyway.
