Is this comment satire? It's seriously so deep in some kind of magic-market-fetishism that I actually can't tell. If anything, the less several years has shown us that the magic hand of the 'market' is neither effective, nor it seems, even real: as soon as things turn slightly against them, those businesses with the means simply change the game so that it favours them again which makes the argument that 'the market is the ecosystem...kill the decrepit organisations' pretty much moot. Look at Fannie May and Freddie Mac (spelling? I'm not American so I'm not terribly familiar with them) 'too big to fail' they said. Until they failed. And then, instead of failing like they would in a 'real' free market system, they went and groveled so that the Government had to step in and save them. Real good free market system there.
