There is no such thing as a free market.

Every time I take a job for a client, find what he's lookin' for, and get paid, it's a free market exchange, so: you're wrong.


It's not even possible as described, because if it was, no other system could prevent or supplant it because market forces would prevent that interference.

That's the dumbest assessment I've heard today. An unrestricted transaction (the foundation for a free market) can be pooched the minute the guy with a big(ger) stick noses his way in.

It would be nice if a free market was the kind of superman you describe, but it's not. It's just people transactin' freely.
