John Grey Anatomy of a liberal

A chief characteristic of liberals like John Grey is their persistence in presenting their opponents ie those who advocate free market capitalism as hopeless, comical  and deluded ideologues whilst Liberal statists likehim on the other hand  who believe the state is pretty much the answer to any problem moral or economic are UN ideological!For some mysterious reason they seem to get away with this unchallenged.Proceeding thus on the foundation of a deception they then attack capitalism and free market  totally ignoring the fact that such a system does not actually exist other than in theory as the system we live under and actually pretty much in all democracies around the world is a mixed economy,hedged in with gazillions of regulations and taxation -the very antithesis of capitalism and free markets! I wonder if it is possible to advance liberal philosophy without having to resort to deliberate and wilfull misrepresentation.If such a learned and intellectually acomplished academic like Mr Grey cannot manage it I think it is safe to say that it is not.
