And you're missing my point Wojtek. It isn't fear that keeps liberals from bashing markets. It's that they love them just as much as conservatives do. They won't bash what they love.
They have a distinctively different (and more sophisticated) conception of markets, which includes their embedding, and leads to other consequences....but that would simply recap my post.
