In any country, the government enforces the market practices - may it be free or controlled
capitalism and free market operate perfectly without government - as soon as there is any enforcement, so crony capitalism begins..
And the author criticizing both government and capitalism cause he is an anarcho-communist! He opposes the existence of both.
Free markets (capitalism in its most basic form) are not a created system, they are a natural dynamic ' you scratch my back, I''ll scratch yours'..- unlike communism ,blah, blah..
To conflate them twice in the forward and introduction implies an inherent complicity -which is incorrect, which is my point.
...free markets predate any systems, governmental or otherwise..
