We have a mixed capitalist system, which is an important detail. When a market becomes too free, it starts heading towards cronyism, the way ours is now, where power eventually is gathered to a few super-wealthy individuals and corporations. This is just as bad as a totalitarian government in that it's taking power away from the people and resting it with the few.
We need to maintain a mixed system where the market has plenty of freedoms, but not free reign. There are common sense limitations that have to be put in place so that the market doesn't shift towards corporatocracy.
