I just want to chime in and say that most "free market" ideologies have been engineered, spread and astroturfed by the robber baron classes to siphon as much money from the many to the few while distracting everyone with tension and circus - so much that this fact is hard to even find in the anglosphere.

It's an incredible feat of psychological engineering spanning over a century, and now people love to believe in the absolute fairy tales of rags to riches, ideologically instead of realpolitically or resource driven geopolitics and meritocracy instead of the realities of an ever increasing gini coefficient.
