free exchange fantasy doesn't yield free markets

free exchange is the sort of sweet  abstraction
 no one can object to
 until they think
" free exchange of gun fire "
                                  perhaps

at any rate libers that slide the goal of free exchange into the notion of markets
as if markets are just spontaneous exchange clusters organized by type
N  products  in (N)(N-1)  markets

oh not barter ??

now we mediate with  a ...money of some sort
a medium of exchange
like war prisoner cigarettes

is that a free medium of exchange ???

the vast interval pof social history that in the end yields todays market system
strikes me as hardly a few randian steps from universal free product exchange eh ??

the fre in free markets simply means no state regulators

just  non state irregulators i guess
