Like I said, show me just 1 FREE MARKET that has ever existed in the history of mankind, just 1. So far nobody has. Black Markets are not FREE MARKETS. Black Markets are by definition illegal market, therefore no controls. Therefore the people with the most guns and strong men control certain Black Markets, prices and supply. I will give you 3 great examples. 1) Prohibition. 2) Illegal Abortions. 3) The War on Drugs. Definitely not FREE MARKETS. If you do not believe me just try and go sell some drugs in someone elses territory, see how long you last.
Apparently your definition of "free market" is not the definition of the dominant paradigm. Why not enlighten us with your definition of the "free market" so that we can tell where you're coming from?
