If the price is right and the product is desirable, the free market will reign.

Yeah, I get it. What you're saying is, if marauders come out of the hills and steal my crops every year, that's part of the free market.

The "free market" only stays free with guarantees that the government will protect our God-given property rights. If no one respects those rights, then no one will build or create, because they will get nothing out of it.

THAT'S the law of "free market capitalism," it's totally incompatible with anarchy.

No it's not part of the free market. If marauders come and steal your crops you go after the marauders, not the companies who made their gun, clothes, car, and whatever else they used to help them steal your crops.

A better analogy would be selling the corn with a restriction prohibiting the customer from sharing it with dinner guests, which he ignores.
