This is only because of the predatory trade laws created by the G8 and other international bodies that hide fascism/mercantilism behind a soft smile of free market trade. If you need to find examples of the evils wrought from free market economics you need to cite one that actually involves principles of free market economics, not corrupt oligarchic collusion between governments and multinational CEO's.
True free market principles would have us grow and raise locally, because its cheaper, not import beef from brazilian rain forest lands to Utah because somebody had an inside connection to powerful governments.
