[falcolas]

Wikipedia and the American Heritage Dictionary expressly disagree:

"In economics, a free market is an economic system in which the prices of goods and services are determined by supply and demand expressed by sellers and buyers. Such markets, as modeled, operate without the intervention of government or any other external authority."

[epistasis]

Good point, I shouldn't use the term "free" market. I mean a functioning market, as is intended by anti-monopoly law.
