Raf, ssk the Irish how all that Free Market rah-rah-rah worked out huh? They were what? Oh yeah they were the Great Celtic Tiger that set the example to lead all of Europe out of it's socialist morass...yes, that worked out well.
I guess you're overlooking the ability for nations to keep their wealth within their own borders through actual governance, regulation and sane taxation policies rather than let global capital oligarchs chase the cheapest and most exploitive labor buck by sloshing whatever they can steal across borders with no consequence. It stuns me how people who rally around this whole free market idea seem utterly unaware of how actually out of whack the power ratio is growing between the haves and have nots and how government capture by wealth elites is the problem - who use it to create policies to favor their class- and then get the side benefit of telling the proverbial Joe Six packs that "Hey, the government doesn't work!" No shit. It's a feature now, not a bug thanks to governmental and regulatory capture.
