What do you mean by 'organic market forces'? All interest rates are decided on, from what we have now to 0%. All markets are designed, with rules, regulations, and tax laws.
Markets are a technology, they don't come from nature. Markets are an intentional product of governments. Anthropologists haven't found a single stateless society that voluntarily chose markets.
- IggleSniggle 3y agoHave anthropologists found any stateless society? Whether it's mother, father, grandma, brother, there's always an older person that sets the rules and expectations (and enforcement, the key quality of a state) for youngsters, even if indirectly. In order for what you say to have meaning, "stateless" would almost tautologically require "no market." But clearly states are themselves a natural aspect of aggregate human behavior in resource limited environments.
