Can a "free market" exist?

[Kenneth B]

A totally free market is only a concept, like pure communism
( to each according to his need, from each according to his ability ) is only a concept, neither can exist in the real world.

Attempts to make such monstrous societies self destruct, which is why America moved away from a Laizzes Faire philosophy about 100 years ago, (ending the unbridled reign of the robber barons ) to one of government involvement in economic externalities. Somewhat short of socialism, we dance along the edge of socialism....as communist nations dance along the edge of a market economy.
