Free market genocide

New article in Evonomics. From the introduction:

"What role should greed play in how we run the world? Should it rule us and shape all that we do? I’d argue that we live under 'greedocracy' disguised as a form of liberalism. Gussied-up as the only rational way, greed has become the guilt-free guiding star of global elites. But the grand narrative usually used to justify this world-shaping greed-is-good creed vigorously ignores salient history, and disingenuously suppresses data on greed’s present-day harms. This essay will walk you through why the 'iberal world order’s' free markets are not really remotely in the business of maximizing flourishing—to rightly judge their track record requires reckoning with the greedocracy’s glossed-over genocides and hushed-up holocausts."
