I think the issue is that not enough people can provide enough for themselves to live. We see this today with the number of people living below the poverty line. The wealth gap is too high and, without government intervention, the jobs that people have access to don’t pay well enough for these people to be able to provide food for their families, let alone medical care, let alone a secure retirement. If free market capitalism was working so well, why are we seeing this? 

 “Free market” fiat capitalism certainly doesn’t help things. People cannot provide for themselves if their money is continually debased. 

It’s an unsustainable path and a painful road to serfdom to continually expand the government and the currency in the hopes that doing so leads to prosperity.
