I'd merely caution against putting your faith into a system that, by definition, has no obligation to a nation and its people.
I'd further argue it was the relative stability, rich resources, and industriousness of the American people that made the free market great, not vice-versa.
In fact, it's the work-ethics and ingenuity of the people above all other factors.
Japan, for instance, has produced successful economies under the Shogunate, the Emperor, and democratic rule alike, in spite of being notoriously poor in resources.
Putin made interesting attempts to force foreign-owned corporations to invest their profits into the Russian economy.
But I wonder if it is possible for any modern economic system to function without CEOs prioritizing shareholders over citizens.
