Of course we've never really had a super-pure "free market." That has never and cannot ever exist. It's a theoretical construct.
Besides, functioning markets will always need government intervention for certain services, like monopoly-busting, providing rule of law, and providing for pure public (and sometimes quasi-public) goods. And that's just the minimum government intervention required.
