Gray manages to damn free markets and accept them at the same time. Throughout no alternatives are offered - why? Because the alternatives are horrific. Whining about a lack of "social cohesion" Gray damns the future wherein people can *choose* to have relations which are revocable and provisional. That sounds ideal to me, anything less is a step closer to slavery - and that is why Gray rails against free markets but cowers from offering the alternative; a controlled market where you are servant and a self serving political elite is your master.
