"...some people continue to defend trickle-down theories which assume that economic growth, encouraged by a free market, will inevitably succeed in bringing about greater justice and inclusiveness in the world. This opinion, which has never been confirmed by the facts, expresses a crude and naive trust in the goodness of those wielding economic power and in the sacralized workings of the prevailing economic system." - Pope Francis
That the Pope is wrong, goes without saying. But one thing he DOESN'T say is that there is NO FREE MARKET.
Monopolies don't tolerate it.
