No I think his point was that it wasn't caused by the government, rather than that it was caused by the free market.
Friedman is arguing that people are always going to be greedy, or at least, we can always expect greed. How will giving monopolistic priviledges to some of these greedy people solve our problems?i've seen many clips from that particular interview and it always kills me how dishonestly Friedman presents his arguments, how many things he says are so very subtly fallacious.
