A lot of logical fallacies going on here, and logical level-crossing.
Genetics is a method of optimizing resource use to achieve goals, and brains are simply an faster way of doing so than genetics alone.
The human mind is also a seeker of local optima, shortest path to achieve certain goals, which often involve coercion.
The free-market is an organic result of human minds seeking optima, and not a "creation" in the sense that a car, gun, or space shuttle are creations.
The free-market, also, by it's very nature, does not involve coercion.
The free-market has proven, time and time again, to be the optimal wealth distribution method, and as it is a natural result of the human desire to be more wealthy, as opposed to some clumsy system dreamed up by some ideologue (like Zeitgeist, communism, etc.), will always perform better, as it is the result of 4.5 billion years of evolution. (Evolution = seeking optima)

Human resourcing today and the phenomena of free markets really are amazing despite their problems, but I'm sure most people agree that it could be improved upon, or at least better implemented. Keeping politics out of markets is a false dilemma if anyone is thinking that. Every action is in some way political, at least while humans are humans.

I strongly disagree. Free-markets are a result of 4.5 billion years of evolution. To think that they can be "improved upon" is purest folly. It's like saying the human brain can be improved upon. Evolution may improve upon it, but humans a clearly unqualified to do so.

There is no such thing as a free market. It is a fiction supporters of a monetary system cling to and try to make others believe is a real thing. A resource based economy does not rely upon "market forces" which are arbitrarily derived from the rigged money game, and instead uses science to intelligently manage resources for the benefit of all people. A market merely benefits those with purchasing power, and that is artificially distributed to the few at the detriment to the many.
