Imagine a visit from a being from another world where there are no wars, no hunger and no poverty because everyone shares everything and everyone works for the common good. This alien tells our leaders we are doing it all wrong and that we should dump the free market economy. What would we do to this being?

If his ray guns are big enough, I'd do what ever he/she/it asked.
Your hypothetical alien is by definition NOT HUMAN. its morals and values are not ours.
imagine a society of ants or bees. Or even deer or wolves.
Or octopi or squids or whales.
might be interesting, but not for me.
I eat, drink, mate and think like a human (mostly).
I do NOT believe that everyone no matter how lazy or undeserving should have as much as those of us who work for a living. Without money as a motivation, without a need to better our lives, we would still be foraging for berries being chased by sabre toothed predators.
Okay if you are an alien, but not me.
And I do not care what Marvin the Martian thinks about Earth, the USA, or me.
Unless he has big guns.

Your next door neighbor comes into your house and tells you everything you do is wrong. What do you do?
Your question is silly. We know nothing about these aliens or how they live and you are willing to dump the free market systme because it's peaceful on his planet. Maybe this was the alien who never graduated high school, or the one who smokes crack when he's not panhandling interstellar money from other worlds.
What a Blockhead.

Well Tony Blair would send John Prescott back to the alien's planet to do a feasability study on the matter. If the feasability study looks good, then Prescott would be ordered to stay there to do long term research on the matter. If it looked bad, then Prescott would be ordered to stay there until it looked good. In any event, we get rid of John Prescott. And for that the alien would either get the George Cross or 120 hours community service serving in the Sense charity shop in Walthemstow.
Out of interest, has anyone seen Doctor Who lately .... all those Cybermen .,... now they really do put the shits up me!

Probably try to cut a deal to buy some of his alien technology, the alien will sign a book deal with movie rites. He'll then go on the lecture circuit, get rich, start a drinking/drug habit and while he seduces one coed after another. Then he'll check into a clinic, and write another book and go on Larry King.

A perfect world cannot have a perfect foundation. That war and poverty free world could have started on a big web of lies. If this alien started all the lies we prolly shouldn't listen to it.

Ask him what he would take for a ride back with him! But your scenario doesn't include what he wants in return.
The only person who ever offered that same exact thing didn't ask for anything in return but that we love him and accept him as our Savior.
If the world got what they wanted, what would they have to gripe and whine about. I'm sure there are people who would find something they could ruin about the whole thing.

First thing would be to put him on the talk show circuit. Then maybe star him in a holly-weird blockbuster, then just give him his own sitcom. I mean, what good is he if the liberals can't make a buck off of exploiting him.

We should tell them to look at North Korea, Soviet Union, and all the communist countries where the market is regulated.
Is that a situation we'd rather be in?

Irrespective of what economic system we have we should tell them thank you very much then get on with working out our own destiny - then ask if they have any scientific goodies to trade, such as a slightly used starship.

We do nothing, the American secret service would kidnap it and take it to area 51 so that they could claim it never actually appeared whilst they spend billions carrying out pointless spasms of research on its poor corpse
