You selectively quoted me. I actually wrote:

> [in free markets,] price and demand are set by the market, free of any government interference

I said nothing about contract enforcement, property rights or prohibitions on force or fraud.

You also wrote in the next sentence:

> pure free markets are impossible and in fact dishonesty and chincanery can utterly distort markets

My point stands. Dishonesty and chicanery are not condoned by the free market, because they're fraud and theft.

That's a fair comment.
