The free market is a static pattern.

[Arlo]
The "free market" is an economic reflection of the social morals held 
by a society.
Because of this, the "free market" can witness the trading of human 
beings (the slave trade of the South, for example, occurred "in the 
free market") as well as computers. It is no better, and no worse, 
than the aggregate morals held by a culture. Bad morals, bad market. 
Good morals, good market.
