I'd say that it's more a characteristic of most successful instances of life than it is a free market principle.
Besides, free markets don't actually exist and in reality-based markets, human ingenuity can be just as much a liability as a blessing. Human ingenuity is arguably responsible for the financial sector shenanigans which brought our economy to its knees.
