A "truly free market" is like a unicorn, it only exists in fairy tales. In reality, Somalia is probably the closest you'll come.


Somalia is anything but a free market. Free market supposes that there is rule of law, that is to say individuals are free to pursue their own lives so long as they respect the equal rights of others. If you think this is the case in Somalia, you should go on a trip there and have fun. It's not an example of limited pro-freedom governments either as it is ruled by war lords, and what are war lords if not despotic numerous governments?
