This is all true, but I would add that many on the right are fully aware of the imperfections of the market, but believe the imperfections of government intervention are worse, and also less tractable. I agree with them on the first, although not the second.

Without government intervention there would be no law, there would only be anarchy and the law of the biggest and brutest. It would be Wild West all over again. Wild West of course is great for the fastest and biggest gun in town but less so for everybody else. I can already hear the fastest gun in town declaring "NO GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION !!!"
