This is not an issue of the free market, it is the curse of progress in general. The free market is a concept that is actually fragile and rather rare in reality. Progress is unstoppable and brings with itself nefarious uses and consequences. It all depends on whether we, humanity, are good stewards of that progress. If what you actually want to say is that some counter-progress force should exist, than that is naive.
