It’s not perfect but it beats everything else. This missing ingredients are honesty, integrity and ethics. Without those, any system is doomed to failure. Since humans are weak and fallible creatures, it’s best not to give too much authority to any of us. I’ll take a free market system over any other every day of the week.

"Free Market" has an elder sister; her name is the Tooth Fairy.

The problem here is "fiat currency", which is not anchored in anything; we need another financial system, anchored in commodities.

Endlessly printing money got us in this predicament.

While I disagree with your “tooth fairy” comparison, you’re absolutely correct about fiat currency. It’s actually unconstitutional.
