In this thread, we trade stories about the fairy tale of a perfect economic system, be it capitalism, socialism, message-bored-ism or whatever.

You mean things like the story of Enron where the deregulation of the Californian Energy market led to rolling blackouts as traders switched off the power stations in order to push up share prices?

God Bless the free market.

Nope...neoliberalism is located past the Reagan Room, which is the last door on the right. When you reach the extreme end of the hall, turn right again and enter the Milton Friedman hallway of greed, there are no lights or windows so run really fast until you hit the wall. It's a dead end with a pile of skeletons.
