One of the most enlightening things I learned as a politically-aware teenager was that markets were artificial constructs that are enabled by reliable enforcement of contract law.
A free market is sometimes good, but never natural. I've always kept that in mind when arguing with laissez-faire types about how the government, which enables the market they supposedly love, should 'stay out of' preserving the market and allow it to be captured by wealthy elites and dismantled.
