"I’m a free marketeer. I believe that voluntary exchange is not just a good method of incentivizing people to provide their labor and talents to society, but a robust moral system — goods and services represent tangible benefit to people, market prices represent the true value of goods in society, and wages represent the value that a worker provides to others."

I still can't believe there are people this naive. Just reading a newspaper for a year should dispel these myths. A glance through history shows the aftermath of countless free-market train crashes. It's like those economists who thought most people were rational. Crazy stuff.
