the alternative to "the free market" is a planned economy.

This is what's called a "false dichotomy"
Well, we have neither a free market nor a planned economy. We have a protected industry.
“Free” market is a bad term. The options are regulated and unregulated. If you don’t regulate at all, you get monopolies and your market isn’t any more “free”.
