Robert Reich debunks the myth that an ideal "free market" would exist in the absence of government. Each market is based on rules, and in the absence of a government to make the rules, the rules are determined by the power of the strongest.

*The so-called “free market” is a myth that prevents us from examining [frequent, small] rule changes and asking whom they serve. The myth is therefore highly useful to those who do not want such an examination and who don’t want the public to understand how power is exercised and by whom.*
