There is a line of conservative ideology that the Free Market (TM) is some sort of divine natural state that should be free of government interference and that any interference is a sign of creeping socialism and the end of the American Dream (TM).

The market is a mechanism, it depends on a functioning infrasturcture and legal system. And even Adam Smith, the granddaddy of the Free Market (TM) said that markets are there to serve the people, not the other way around

Andrew Ryan disagrees.
