This isn't some local trend in history, everyone is born with anti-market bias. We come from small bands of hunter-gatherers with fairness and egalitarianism built in through reciprocal altruism. The problem is a lot of market policies seem unfair when you look at them at a glance. That's why older people become more fiscally conservative (including older liberals) because you start to understand the underlying mechanisms and the empirical support of market strategies. Read Bryan Caplan's "The Myth of the Rational Voter" if you want a more thorough discussion of this.
