I'm not sure what you mean by circularity in coercion. Another example of the contrast of an ideal world with the free market in the real world is stock markets. In an ideal world, there would be no need for a stock market because there would be no uncertainty as to stock value. The free market exists because we don't live in an ideal world. > governments were formed out of some kind of homogeneous toxic gloop. This is not far from the truth. Government that does not draw its power from the consent of the governed is essentially just a very powerful criminal gang.
