the idea that the united states has been anything like a "free market" fantasy at any point since world war 2 is laughable.
"free marketeers" have used this ideology to advance the interests of the patronage network they serve and disadvantage political opponents who serve different patronage networks.
it worked for a while as a marketing tool and now it really doesn't. at some point, a different language will probably get fabricated by these same political operatives who will then try to advance the interest of the patronage networks for which they stand once again.
