There are two types of advocates for efficient markets: the true believers & the people who manipulate markets. The latter create and fund institutes & academic departments stocked with the former to convince and/or intimidate moderately educated people into disbelieving their lyin' eyes.

Unregulated markets always trend toward monopoly.

Of course.

Efficient markets are impossible without regulation.
