When you think of a non-free market system, think Trabant. On the negative side, this paragon of socialist industry was truly one of the worst car ever. On the positive side, production policies in the East were so skewed (cleaned that up, didn't I) that it took years to get a Trabi once you were allowed to order it. Now that's ::
