Recommend the book Narconomics for an in-depth look at the «free-market» ideas that drug organizations use in South America. Gang tattoos to limit the mobility of their labor, duopolies to minimize conflict but maintain most of the benefits of a monopoly, squeezing upstream suppliers by playing them off each other, geographically-differentiated pricing and much more. The violence is obviously the biggest difference, but even the rest serves as a warning not to drop regulation entirely.
