    This is wonderful to hear. Without positive examples, there’s no way to prove to the doubters that free markets do, in fact, work.

      To be fair, the issue here is that some parts of the market are free, while others aren’t. If your entire economy is controlled by the state, then this isn’t an issue at all. The state exerting some level of control over all aspects of the economy ends up working pretty well< while a true laissez faire economy very quickly ends up being unfree due to monopolies.
