[Giulio Prisco]

Unfettered capitalism would work better than the current system.

In the current system, large corporations and banks buy their way to
de-facto monopoly, by bribing corrupted politicians and
administrators. This is _very_ far from a free market.

The current breed of capitalists pay lip service to the free market,
and the current breed of mainstream politicians pay lip service to
government oversight, but in practice they collaborate to keep things
exactly as they are.

There is a de-facto power monopoly of big corporations/banks and
corrupted big governments, _acting together_. The government that
zealot libertarians hate is owned by the same banks and corporations
that they worship.
