I love this little bit of magical thinking. A truly free-market isn’t free for very long. Power aggregates and suddenly there’s a greedy oligarchy requiring government intervention to prevent the worst abuses of environment and public welfare. It is simply human nature and something that “libertarians” seem intent on forgetting.
What do you think “truly free” means? IF you think it means anarchy, BZZZT! Thanks for playing.
In a truly free market, power would effectively be abolished by means of chaining the government within a sharply and narrowly defined purpose — the securing of individual rights. So your claim is meaningless… assuming you are not conflating economic and political power.
As for “human nature”, I’ll tell you what I told Stephen Bainbridge and will tell everyone invoking that contemptuous disdain for humankind, Leftist or conservative: Speak for yourself, buster.
