At this point in time I think the opportunities presented via a "free market" and democratic society have been fully explored. The word free is ultimately a misnomer and the democratic ideals are soon ignored by the elected.
A free market is thought to be a self regulating environment. The strongest survive yada yada yada and the consumer wins. Logically it makes sense. In practise, influencers such as private investors, are concerned with market share and profits and not so much on product. The profit motive leads to efforts in dominating a market.
Still, not the end of the world just yet.
A further wrench in the works can be seen where the strongest in the free market are given true reign when regulations structuring their operations are diminished.
This is the true evil of course but it is a reality and flies in the face of free enterprise ideals.
The root of all evil? Sure, woman are in there but it's money and it's doesn't matter how you dress it up.
Carry on
