What they are calling "free market capitalism" isn't, it seems to me. With huge reserves of amalgamated capital, almost any market can be leveraged to benefit the holder of the most capital.
It would be like playing poker without "table stakes." They guy with the most money--provided he has enough money--could just continue to double the bet until the other players couldn't meet it, no matter what cards they are holding.
