Government forced roads upon us, if our world existed without governments, the world's economic system would be completely different. Free market entities only use roads because they are there.
Roads existed ever since humans learned to travel.
The first roads such as the silk trail where actualy built by the free market for the purpose of trade. Roads were not "forced on mankind" by goverment. Roads came into existance through human travel. Goverments have merely been insuring that those roads are in a good and safe state ever since the Romans started reeinforcing them.
But who am I joking, you are ignorant of todays reality, so why should you care about historic facts?
