Is this a splendid example of US capitalism’s “free markets”?

Pluto C. Rat: Is this a splendid example of US capitalism’s “free markets”?
US investors blackballed in stock exchanges within a “free market” economy:

“Goldman to exclude U.S. from Facebook placement”

“NEW YORK (Reuters) – Goldman Sachs will limit its private placement of shares of social networking site Facebook to investors outside the United States, citing “intense media coverage,” the investment bank said.

Goldman expects to raise $ 1.5 billion for Facebook, the wildly popular site used as a message board and for online social networking. The chance to buy a slice of Facebook ahead of any future public listing attracted widespread commentary and news coverage, which potentially could bring it under regulatory scrutiny.

“In light of this intense media coverage, Goldman Sachs has decided to proceed only with the offer to investors outside the U.S.,” the company said in a statement provided to Reuters.

Goldman began notifying clients of its decision on Sunday.

“We regret the consequences of this decision, but Goldman Sachs believes this is the most prudent path to take,” Goldman said in the statement on Monday.”
