Governments have control over the economy. By definition, they do NOT have control over "the market," since that term means people trading WITHOUT governmental interference. What we have now is not "the market." It's a warped and mangled corporate/fascist abomination. But of course, everything bad about it gets blamed on what FREEDOM still remains.

It's becoming harder and harder to trade in free markets. if you mean buying directly for cash or other forms of compensation. Here locally in Nebraska there used to be tons of farmers markets to buy directly from the growers for whatever you could barter them to accept. The governments put an end to that in an effort to protect Wal-Marts monopoly here locally.
