I think it depends on whether or not the definition of a "free market" includes the non-existence of monopolies. If it does, then a free market isn't possible.

I think it depends on whether or not the definition of a "free market" includes the non-existence of monopolies. If it does, then a free market isn't possible. It will always devolve into monopolies and conglomerates absorbing everything. If it doesn't, then a free market is possible, but it would not be good.
