On the other hand, according to a Forbes Media Company,
"free market is a term used to describe a political or ideological viewpoint on policy and is not a field within economics." http://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/freemarket.asp
One might conclude that this thread proves the validity of that statement.

The Chicago and Austrian schools of economics certainly disagree. Even the Keynesians wouldn't claim that they aren't a "field within economics"; indeed, they rely upon being such.
