And it doesn't work. Ageism, for example, is rampant in white-collar America. Most people don't know or care about what goes on inside of a given corporation. They only care about price.
We've already had an unfettered free market in the USA, it's the very reason that unions & regulations exist today.
I'm honestly curious Adrian, do you currently or have you ever actually worked for someone else in a day to day job for any length of time? Contracting single jobs / school projects don't count.
EDIT: Oh nevermind, I see that you did actually do some data entry for a whole year back in 2006.
