Of course, since there were no markets to advocate when we lived in caves. The limited division of labor was organized by tradition, democracy, and/or top-down command. To the extent that exchange existed, it was embedded in a matrix of social obligations: it was reciprocity, not true exchange. It was pretty obvious that the collectivity was necessary to survival, so that no-one advocated abolishing it (as libertarians do). -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
