It is not fundamentally evil, but must be constrained in certain ways to ensure public benefit. I generally like the free-market and am not a Socialist or Communist, but obviously we need some regulation. Even Communist states like China and Vietnam allow certain aspects of a market economy. And even if you are a Marxist, it is likely that we have not advanced sufficiently to allow for the transition away from all elements of a market system (requiring a period of Socialist Market Economy).

And even under Socialist Market Economy they do not believe the market elements there are evil, but through them they create the productive forces necessary for the next stages of Socialism and eventually Communism. They are a positive element, albeit temporary.
