The Republican opinion on economy has always been 'the free market is best left alone.' That has been true from Hoover, whose idea that the market would fix itself wasn't so popular in the 1930s, to Bush, atleast until the recent financial crisis.
You could make the argument that intervention or speculators soured the free market, but spare yourself the humilation of trying to rewrite 100 years of Republican viewpoints of the economy.
