Intellectuals hate the free market

Maybe because:

1. It cannot be controlled, planned, designed or predicted

2. It will often yield outcomes that they don't personally like

3. Their livelihood is uncertain under those conditions

4. They need to constantly produce work that people actually find useful for their lives

5. A non-intellectual who has not read a single book or had a formal education can become wealthy and successful

6. Nobody's position at the top, middle or bottom is guaranteed or permanent, so much so that there might be no such thing as a well-defined 'top, middle or bottom'
