A free market is typically defined as a situation where interested parties can exchange anything they so wish at any price.
"Big-brained" humans like to create all kinds rules which may make markets amongst humans unlikely to ever be free in practice, but it seems apparent that other animals regularly exhibit free markets. In what way are they not "absolute"?
- _heimdall 2y agoRelated to this, I can't quite see how we would have created laws to allow for markets before markets existed. Someone, or a group of people, would have had to envision an entirely new system called "markets" and immediately realized that laws were needed before goods could be exchanged.
