A real free market is most definitely the Vedic way

European and UK leaders have failed to house their own citizens, amongst other failures. They deliberately engineer fixed housing markets controlled by banks , with the help of political friends . Bankers become politicians, and politicians become bankers, so it is said wryly. High House prices mean more profits for banks and financial companies and less money to circulate in other parts of the economy. The government’s are controlled by business conglomorates and financial institutions, who have no interest in housing people at affordable rates , quite the opposite, they engineer shortages of housing , by failures to build social housing and by restricted supply.  Weak governments allow them to . The conglomorates lobby governments and donate to political parties.
The Vedic systems are socialist based, the middle way , with allowance for a legitimate free trade . Free trade is a word banded about in Western countries , but in reality, we have cooperative monopolies and a currupt housing market as well as many other types of businesses ,  groceries, for example.  There are thousands of children living in temporary accommodation and thousands of homeless persons . Housing for families is often blocks of flats with no garden . What good is that for children? Thus ,  democracies are failing , educated democracies are needed , where the uncaring politicians are discarded, and the intelligentsia guide political persons who care , and bankers are left out the picture.
