The financial markets around the world are highly manipulated by governments and are therefore by definition not transparent and free.

“our current system of capitalism”. WTH does that mean? That we should embrace one world socialism instead?

ugh.

Free markets have been the sustaining engine of human endeavor since the dawn of time.

So true. Real Capitalism is as dead ad a door knob in today's manipulated, rigged, and over regulated system.

Our 'current system of capitalism' is one that uses the printing press to socialize losses while allowing groups like Goldman Sachs to privatize profits.

True capitalism is a system of profit and loss, with the process of losses guiding capital from less capable hands to more capable hands via the market. With the advent of fiat money and a government controlled printing press to generate same the discipline of the market can be subverted by running the presses and handing out fresh claims on real capital to the politically favored.
