In fact, the ideology of the free market is a greater threat than an overweening state to the true freedom of the church to live the gospel. Indeed, despite the common rhetoric, the state and the market are most commonly not mutually opposed. The very development of capitalism depended on the liberation by the state of the freely contracting individual, unfettered by medieval community and custom. The market, in turn, has been the most powerful solvent of all types of constitutive community, because it evangelizes the person to believe in the absolute and final sovereignty of individual choice. – William T. Cavanaugh
