Actually, one of the best places to go for a criticism of the straight
free-market model is, oddly enough, Adam Smith. It's so funny, because
he's the beloved child of the free market advocates, but if you actually
read him, that's not what he says. His message is something along the
lines of "Capitalism is great, except for the capitalists." He recognizes
that the motivations of capitalists are often in opposition to the common
good, and that the only solution is regulation of some kind.
