The entirety of modern economics is based on the presupposition that monetary value is the only factor in rational decision making. A "free market" is literally defined as - "a system in which the *prices* for goods and services are self-regulated by the open market and by consumers" - all goods and services have a monetary price in such a system. It is both inappropriate and in bad taste to call this a free market solution when it is clearly not.
