The "market as god" is nonsensical. Unbridled capitalism will and does enslave and destroy the individual no less than communism or any other ism.
When money is worshiped as God, human life is nothing more than a number, and its only value is monetary in nature... this view leads to slavery, but absolute and economic... It leads to abuse of the individual, and the destruction of any sort of society as modernly defined.
Those that say let the market do what it will and government should not regulate or oversee it in any fashion are absolute idiots.
