As usual, you are missing the point. As I wrote, the free market on a large scale is not based on anarchy. It most definitely requires a government of men to enforce the rules of fair play. That government is a central authority that must obviously posses some intelligence. If you are going to compare that government to the "laws of nature," you are profoundly confused, unless you are willing to concede that the "laws of nature" are intelligently designed.

Free markets grew out of primitive barter relationships. They obviously antedate any effort to regulate them. It would be absurd to believe otherwise.

King: Today, I think I'll invent market regulation.

Minister: What's a market?

King: I was about to invent that, too.

Market regulations attempt to impose design after the fact on a thing that just grew. Often, they aren't very intelligent.
