I've been arguing with inaccurate definitions of the free market recently,
here and
here. Misprepresentations of the market abound, though;
here's another example, spotted by Jonny Newton, and unsurprisingly enough taken from the Today programme on BBC Radio 4:
[the real Robin Hood was] an extremely unpleasant kind of madman really who believes he is greater than God and beyond sin, a kind of metaphor for free market capitalism really.
God damn! Whoever said that is lucky I wasn't in earshot, cos that's fighting talk.
