It was created by the market manipulation of the Fed who printed out vast quantities of money and 'lent' it to new home buyers resulting in house prices being bid way up beyond reason. Same thing happened with stock prices just prior to the great depression. In a free market people would not be constrained by law to accept federal reserve notes as if they were actually worth something. The housing bubble was not created by a free market.

It is doubtful that the USA EVER had a 'free market' system or economy. Remember, slavery was legal in the USA until 1863, and women weren't allowed to vote until 1920. You cannot therefore say that a 'free market' existed for blacks or women under such conditions.

This guy suggests the Great Depression was the result of free markets. If the Federal Reserve was created in 1913 and has been in operation ever sense, there clearly was no free market then and there is no free market now.
