   What I find amazing is the free market being coerced to death and near 
death in the Soviet Union was still able to get those long bread lines 
together so the supply and demand of bread was met.  The natural exchanges 
between people is like the force of gravity, and to mess with these free market 
natural exchanges between social animals is like messing with planetary orbits.  
    Sadly, mass starvations occasionally happened as the Soviet Union government 
interfered.  Unfortunate that socialist mentalities led to full blown communism 
in that government, and physically coerced people's livelihoods to extinction at times.  
These kinds of economic systems see no value and stick to failed algorithms.
    People reasoning and using the purchasing power in their immediate experience 
can account for price changes and find were their dollar can be used best.  The consumer 
demanding goods can signal shifts to producers to invest more for future gains as the 
profit comes in to provide for these futures, but as savings by consumers occur the 
shift back to present gains can take place in the form of lower prices as demands drop.  
Ivory tower Keynesians and other socialists economists are mind-boggled by people's 
preferences, and yet they still use the same flawed approach.  They artificially lower interest 
rates coercing false signals into the market to invest in the futures.  Yet meanwhile people 
are trying to save money - too much debt.  Keynesians are always boggled by savings and 
actually call it "hoarding".  That's their official term.  They only want to see spending, and 
lots of it.  Yet as consumers have been saving the statist economic intellectuals have been 
trying to reverse this savings trend.  Cause it means the economy will actually get rid of 
malinvestments, jobs will shift to new profitable markets, and the sound economy will 
return, but they fear their "specialness" will be lost.  They need to feel as if they are 
doing something to help, but they aren't.  They are prolonging the suffering by their interference.  
     The free market is indicating save, but the government therefore is trying to counter 
what obviously needs to happen with monetary inflation.  This means the government is going 
into default for any real business, not a coercive territory monopoly institution, would go bankrupt, 
but since the government can't go into bankrupt and consequently sell off it's good investments 
to other agencies and flush out it's malinvestments (poor credit; government debt), then the 
government defaults via monetary inflation (printing money out of thin air).  It coercively ruins 
the purchasing power of the dollar with government backed legal tender laws.
    
     But as noted with the Soviet Union, sometimes the free market does buckle as North Korea, 
in their soon to be dynastic communist regime shift, experiences periodic mass starvations.  
Thieves and murderers like to go down to the market for easy cash and apples, even though 
they could have been more just in their life and tried to work, negotiate, and reason with people 
instead.
