Do you have a source to support your claim that "the free market" was responsible for killing a quarter of Ireland's population?



Ireland had a market economy, Ireland had enough food to feed everyone, ergo the free market caused the famine.

Just like how the Soviet Union had a communist economy, how it had enough food to feed everyone, ergo, people blame Communism for the famine.
