No, the task is still on you to defend your strange belief in the nonexistence of free markets.

I went into a small one this very morning, to buy some apples and eggs. Looked very real to me. And free: nobody told the sellers at which price to sell and nobody made me buy if I didn’t like it.



That's just a market. Markets have existed forever - that's just a transaction of goods or services.

Free markets are a specific definition with specific conditions.


Yeah, I am using the generally accepted and recognized meaning in conversations around the world. I am not interested in the current trend of twisting the definition of a word until it fits your preconceived notions.


The existence of markets isn't being contested. If that's what you mean then sure. Markets exist. We can both move on with our days now.
