    Capitalism and free market economics is not the same thing. We have more capitalism than we have free market. There's been talk of forcing cable companies to offer channels alacarte for example which would make for a freer market but capitalistic forces have stood in the way. Another thing is advertising. So little of it actually tells you about the product, then there are situations like the people who take open source products, bundle it with malware then advertise on the search engines. There's also the idea of a minimum living income, where people will always get a check each month but have the option of working for more. Then there's the fact of automation doing more and more of the work.
