The free market system is really good at distributing goods & services. That computer you're typing on right now is a great example. The reason you can go to just about any store in your town and get an iPhone is another. The free market system is not so good at "internalizing external costs", which is why we need some regulation. And no system is good at preventing people from breaking the law. To impugn an entire economic system because of one law breaker is naive and immature. Fix the damage (if possible), sue the company, and imprison the law breakers. If you can't do that, it's because your legal system is broken, not your system if distributing goods and service. Corruption and regulatory capture happen in all economic and governmental systems, they aren't a characteristic of any single one.
