Free market flawed, says survey

The fall of the wall looked like a crushing victory for capitalism

Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, a new BBC poll has
found widespread dissatisfaction with free-market capitalism.
In the global poll for the BBC World Service, only 11% of those
questioned across 27 countries said that it was working well.
Most thought regulation and reform of the capitalist system were necessary.
There were also sharp divisions around the world on whether the end of
the Soviet Union was a good thing.
