[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper discussing free market philosophies of Karl Marx, Noam Chomsky, George Orwell and Adam Smith.

He allows no credit for those people having intelligence of their own and the power to control their own destinies. It is the Smith model that survives as the most legitimate.
