If you give too much power to geed (money), you may have problems with crime, illegal sales (drugs, regular and mass destruction weaposns), corruption and other negative for society phenomena (I agree that some members of society actually benefit from such business, but overall impact is negative - more members are hurt that are benefited). Also, giving people freedom is good, but giving too much freedom is not wise (genetically we are still animals) - it results in racial and religious problems, in terroristic acts,in riots, in government versus militia clashes, in illegal immigration, powerty, etc. Too much freedom in education makes quality of education very poor.

We did not have such problems in communistic society. Well, now we do. But now we have a capitalism (and a lot of freedom)instead.
