Free-market economics has failed to exist in this country for nearly a century. Anyone that tells you otherwise has not been paying attention to the economic philosophy of this country. The American have had to strive through three pseudo principles of economics: corporatism, crony capitalism (see corporatism), and government regulated socialism. The basic free-market actions between consumer and business have always gone interrupted. For the most part, this has led to disaster. Just look at the shit hole that we ended up in 2008.
