What has that to do with whether its a market or not.?
Quote:Yes. They may also run me off the land my family spent generations developing, beating me senseless for trying to maintain my right of ownership. They may decide my best ideas and inventions must be shared for free with others, giving me no compensation for them because abstracts like motivation, inspiration and creativity mean nothing in a market which determines fair trade values only by a (necessarily totally artificial and arbitrary) calculation of man-hours-per-item.
